TS Director: Foundation for Enterprise Integration
The quality of data is an issue that stretches across every enterprise:across business units, across business processes, across departments, across geographies, and across time. Each place where data is created, each time data is moved or transformed, each time data is modifi ed, the opportunity for errors is introduced, the potential for duplicates is revisited, and the likelihood for data-related problems is re-introduced.
TS Director: A Data Quality Application Server
TS Director is an application server that provides data quality processing to multiple applications in a high availability environment.
TS Director is ideal for deploying data quality within different applications. Mainstream enterprise applications, legacy systems mixed or heterogeneous environments, web-based applications, and networked applications. It is the best option for organizations that have more than one system that requires data quality processing in real-time.
TS Director contains a series of interfaces so that it can be used in conjunction with applications. These interfaces are written using industry standards: C, C#, C++, Java, XML over HTTP, Microsoft .NET, Enterprise Java Beans, and Web Services. Interfaces are available for Microsoft .NET and J2EE-compliant web application servers, including IBM’s WebSphere BEA’s WebLogic. Interfaces are customizable so TS Director can be called from any application, regardless of the technology standards upon which it may have been built.

How it works
TS Director is a resource manager that acts as a registry for all Trillium Software data quality processing servers in the enterprise. Cleansing and matching servers register with TS Director at startup and provide one or more ready-to-use data quality functions. When a server is started, its Trillium Software System services are made available to your calling application. When an application requests those services, TS Director sends the application a process handle from a pool of available handles, enabling the application to communicate directly with an available cleansing or matching server.
TS Director manages the data quality services deployed across the network, and regulates traffic between calling applications and the cleansing and matching servers. This highlyscalable architecture means your data quality services can keep up with your growing data quality requirements, and with changing workloads.
Benefits
Trillium Software System® has been uniquely architected based on the premise that enterprise-wide data quality solutions must work seamlessly with all platforms, in any application, and should be able to integrate into any technical environment. As a result, our single, core product can be deployed in many diff erent ways, throughout the enterprise.
This approach offers significant benefits:
• Maintain a single instance of Trillium Software System
• Leverage a standard (base) set of quality rules
• Streamline development and deployment eff orts
• Support portability across platforms
• Produce the same results across heterogeneous platforms, regardless of how functions are invoked
• Scale easily to grow with an organization and industry
• Fit into any data movement architecture
There are also significant technical benefits to this architecture— network transparency to applications, scalability, reduced development time, and flexible deployment of technical resources.
