Cisco enters Data Virtualization Space

In case you haven't heard, networking  giant CISCO systems on Thursday June 20th, 2013 announced that it is buying Composite Software http://www.zdnet.com/cisco-to-acquire-composite-software-for-180m-7000017085/ for $180 Million This acquisition highlights the growing interest in the Data  Virtualization market by customers that vendors are trying to fill. The phrase Enterprise Information Integration ( EII ) was first introduced by MetaMatrix (which is predecessor for Teiid http://teiid.org ) back in 2000 and was first entrant into the market. Composite Software soon joined ranks of EII vendors and quickly established itself as a fierce competitor. MetaMatrix was acquired by Red Hat in 2007.  Red Hat initiated the process to open source the MetaMatrix software as it does with all acquired code that's not yet open. The Teiid community project was born out of these effort in January 2009.  On the path to open source, we took the opportunity to step back, re-ev...
