What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You

Abstract

Data connectivity, the middleware that enables applications to access databases, is a critical, but often overlooked component of the IT infrastructure. These components, such as ODBC and JDBC drivers and ADO.NET providers, can have dramatic effects on application performance, reliability, and portability. Poor choices directly impact the bottom line through increased development costs, slower deployments, and missed revenue opportunities. In fact, one of the greatest impediments to application performance and scalability is the bottleneck between the application and the underlying database caused by flawed or suboptimal data connectivity.

This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions.
