8. 8 “IT architects and planners, development managers, and integration managers looking for high-performance scalable data and application integration platforms to enable business- critical SOA projects requiring the encapsulation of established databases and applications will be interested in Xcalia. ISVs and SIs seeking to add/embed SOA-enabled integration capabilities into their products and solutions will also consider Xcalia's offer.” Massimo Pezzini, Gartner “Our customers are mainly in manufacturing and retail markets. They tend to use packaged applications more than homegrown and are looking for ways to adopt SOA today without waiting for the ERP vendors to come up with a solution. Xcalia’s flexible approach will enable them to build new business applications without impacting the existing applications. There is a lot of value here.” Dennis Gaughan, AMR Research “Xcalia is addressing an important problem facing companies that need to easily access data from heterogeneous sources and reuse them in composite applications. And, the ability to automatically call data and services at runtime to execute a transaction is truly unique. Xcalia is years ahead of the others.” Sandy Rogers, IDC

9. No single vendor offers a complete information fabric solution. Although vendors have made considerable progress in the past year in offering more features and functionality, no single vendor has a complete solution yet, although in partnership, they can sometimes get close. BEA, IBM, and MetaMatrix still lead the pack, with strong potential shown by Composite Software, GemStone, Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, and Xcalia. Upcoming v2 study: “Information as a Service” 9

10. Strong involvement in standards organizations since inception JDO2: founding member of JDO, first JDO implementation EJB3 / JPA2 SDO Private initiative from IBM and BEA in 2004, then Xcalia XIC 4 first SDO 1 implementation in 2005 In 2005 SDO 2 starts Oracle, SAP, Iona, Sybase joined the group SDO 2: interop between SDO implementations In 2006 creation of Open SOA + Sun + 10 others (Zend, Tibco, HP…) In 2007 SDO 2 and SCA moved to OASIS SDO3 now starts within Open SOA and OASIS Xcalia now leads the SDO for.Net specification DAS Private effort started by IBM and Xcalia in 2006 Server counterpart of SDO Standardization effort led by Xcalia as part of Open SOA since 2007 (to be moved to OASIS when mature) 10

11. Banking Finance BPER (Private Bank Edmond Rothschild) (Switzerland): Mainframe Integration BNP Securities (France) Fiducia IT (Germany): 900 Banks. Banking framework. 12 million transactions per day Insurance BNP Insurance (France): 40 Insurance applications Mondial Assistance (France) Generali Insurance (Switzerland): Full access layer Barmenia Insurance (Germany): Delta Lloyd Insurance (Germany): Mainframe DB2 Integration Public Administration Unedic (French Unemployment Services): Target 8 million transactions/day: Mainframe DB2 integration Retail Conforama (France): 5 key business applications Communications & Defense Thales: Corporate knowledge management portal Healthcare Conselleria de Valencia (Spain): 28 hospitals and 4 healthcare applications 11

12. Application JBF is a general banking framework for Web based banking applications used by a network of 900 German local banks. New business applications needed sophisticated access to data on servers and IBM Mainframes based on a standardized, efficient and reliable data access layer. The largest Java Application in Europe – running 12 million transactions a day, 100.000 users. Customer Requirement The former proprietary persistence layer had to be replaced; enhancements would have been too complex. Efficient and reliable access to data sources on mainframe and other server was a requirement. Xcalia contribution Xcalia provided the capabilities and therefore is a core component of JBF. Benefits ‘We are now able to continue using legacy data sources. We also reduced the time to develop new JBF applications. The reduction of technical data access issues let us spend more time on adding valuable features’. Gerd Müller – Director of application architecture New project Fiducia transitioned WS to Tomcat and is transitioning MF to Oracle. Xcalia XIC eases the painless transition to a Unix Oracle environment. 12

13. Environment IBM z-OS, DB/2 et IMS sur zOS, WebLogic Application The NCP project involved a substantial rewriting of the application that manages unemployed rights and benefits (Sigma) Adopted new Java technologies in replacement of Cobol. Customer requirement 8.000-12.000 users a day must be able to access their information resulting in 8 Millions transactions/day It was critical to guarantee the best runtime performance in a J2EE application environment including IBM Mainframe Xcalia contribution Xcalia provided this capability with XIC on WebSphere z-OS and WebLogic on IBM Unix Servers Benefits “XIC supplied an highly transactional data access solution for WebLogic and Websphere on z-OS to build this critical application. The application was finally successfully deployed on WebLogic on Unedic sites. “ Jean-Claude Esposito, Head of Applications 13

14. Environment Mainframe 390 + Websphere 6 + DB2 7 + Cobol + JDK 1.4.2 zOS & zLinux Applications Realtime market data flow Customer requirement During one year BPER tried to access their Mainframe in Java without success. They needed communication between the applications through the data base instead of integrating applications. They also needed to configure non transactional Websphere Data Sources Xcalia Contribution Xcalia is now used for all the Bank applications in the new J2EE platform Xcalia worked with IBM Labs and provided a workaround for a WAS 6 limitation Benefits BPER reduced production costs while improving execution speed, reducing costs on DB2, having a more economic use of mainframe processing power. New project Xcalia is now working on servicing the mainframe. IBM indicated "No, WebSphere does not contain an implementation of a non-transactional DS". 14

15. Environment IBM Websphere 5.1.1.3 with planned migration to WebSphere 6.1 in 2007 Oracle 9.2.0.7 Applications VM Car Insurance 50% of total volume, Multiple risks 25% of total volume, PGM Salary Coverage, LAA Labour Accident Coverage, RCE Corporate Coverage Customer requirement The previous persistence solution (internally developed) could not scale, was not based on industry standards and was too expensive to maintain – it needed to be replaced. Xcalia Contribution Xcalia was the ideal solution and by the end of 2006 85% of Genarali Insurance Branches and 25% of the insurance contracts will be managed through XIC. All other contracts will be migrated in 2007. Benefits About Xcalia reactivity : ‘I’ve never seen anything like it before!’ said M. Abbt (CIO) About performance ‘We divided total time by 1.6 e.g 40% for reads. Update and reads all included, we divided response time by a factor of 4’ stated Mr Dominique Coissard, Head of the Architect Group at Generali in Geneva 15
