I am happy to announce that v2.0 is now officially available, just six months after the first official release of Talend Open Studio. This new release is the fruit of countless hours of work by our engineering team - but also the result of many suggestions and contributions from our users.
Talend Open Studio v2.0 introduces two major new concepts.
The first one is the Java language generation. Where v1.x would generate Perl for the jobs execution, v2.0 now offers the choice of generating either Perl or Java. This is really a major breakthrough in data integration, with data integration jos that integrate seemlessly in a Java architecture. It also makes the solution more versatile and usable by a far greater number of developers.
The second new concept in v2.0 is the ELT architecture. You may remember how the ELT concept was publicized by Sunopsis before they were bought by Oracle. Beyond the play on letters, ELT is about doing transformations inside the RDBMS engine instead of doing them in an ETL engine. What’s really unique in Talend Open Studio is the ability to do both ETL and ELT, even within a given job. Some transformations work better as ETL, some run faster as ELT. With Talend Open Studio, you don’t need to make compromises - you can do ETL and ELT.
Beyond these two new concepts, we have significantly increased the breadth of technologies that Talend Open Studio makes interoperable. With connectors to major business applications (ERP and CRM), all RDBMS (Open Source and proprietary), Web Services, all types of flat files, XML, LDAP, email protocols, and several more. And of course our users can pretty easily build additional connectors - several of the ones packaged in v2.0 are actually contributions.
There are a couple additional enhancements in this version - you can check our Web site http://www.talend.com/products-data-integration/whats-new.php for more information.
