what it is

entity DM is a Data Management solution available as a managed service.

entity DM Service Provider Edition
Software for Data Service Providers and other service providers seeking to generate new revenue by offering DM to their customers as a managed service.

entity DM On-Demand
A managed DM service for enterprises that want to outsource IT infrastructure. entity DM on-demand also appeals to enterprises who want to pilot DM capabilities quickly and easily without a major upfront investment.

From a single interface, you manage all the Data Services in your enterprise and even across firewalls, regardless of what platform they were created on or what application is requesting them. Think of entity DM as a soft appliance--it plugs into your network and takes control of inbound and outbound messages. As Data Services deployments grow, you need a single point of visibility into and control over your organization's mission critical Data Services and their consumption of other's Data Services. That's entity DM.

CleanShift Architecture
entity DM utilizes a patent-pending, Cleanshift architecture with distributed proxies that create an abstraction layer for Data Services management. This facilitates reuse of code - the underlying applications and services are never touched. All of which makes Data Services more economical, and easier to deploy and maintain.

entity DM Proxies are federated - the same principle as DNS - and managed by a single entity DM controller, no matter how many proxies you're running. entity DM addresses both your provider-side and requester-side management issues. You can even deploy DM Proxies to partners outside your firewall for maximum security and monitoring. We call entity DM network-attached smart infrastructure: It's lightweight, fast and scalable. Think of it as reliable distributed computing software.

Scalability
Your organization may be starting out small with Data Services, but the real value will come as Data Services scale. entity DM lets you scale a Web Services deployment easily:

• It makes it easy for you to systematically roll out your services with provisioning features (helpful tip: Your Data Services won't deliver business benefits until they're being used).
• It facilitates reuse of common code, thus freeing your developers from having to build security and manageability into every service and calling application.

And speaking of scalability … you'll be glad to know you can start with entity on a small scale - a single proxy, for example - then scale up as needed to bring more services on board. It's infinitely scalable. We like to say no job is too small for entity … or too big.
