Through a series of acquisitions and enhancements to its family of products in less than two years, Syncsort Inc. is cementing its role in big iron to big data software. Last week, the company added new capabilities to Syncsort Integrate that enable real-time data streams from multiple sources to applications.

The new features are designed to aid enterprise customers in fields such as cybersecurity and fraud detection where data must be immediately available and current.

“We can take a changed data element in an IBM Db2 database and publish it into Apache Kafka,” said Josh Rogers (pictured), chief executive officer of Syncsort. “That is a key requirement in delivering real-time fraud detection.”

Rogers spoke with John Furrier (@furrier) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during theCUBE NYC event in New York. They discussed recent acquisitions to enhance its portfolio of products and integration challenges between legacy systems and next-generation technologies. (* Disclosure below.)

Data matching in mass volume

Syncsort’s latest updates follow a number of moves by the company over the past two years to meet the evolving needs of data-driven enterprises. The acquisition of Trillium Software Inc. in 2016 gave the company valuable data profiling and enrichment capabilities.

“We took their core data quality engine, and now it runs natively on a distributed Hadoop infrastructure,” Rogers said. “We have customers leveraging it to deliver an unprecedented volume of matching.”

A little over a year ago, Syncsort purchased Metron Technology Ltd., which added capacity management services to its growing portfolio. And in May, the company acquired Townsend Security’s IBM i data privacy products, a recognition that securing data as it moves from legacy to next-generation platforms will be a critical enterprise need, according to Rogers.

“We start with the premise that you’re going to need to run the older investments that you’ve made and you’re going to need to integrate the new stuff with that,” Rogers explained. “When you think about solving both the optimization and the integration challenge there, you need a lot of expertise on both sides, both the old and the new, and that’s what we offer.”
