SnapLogic, the Elastic Integration company, today announced the Winter 2015 release of its SnapLogic Elastic Integration Platform. The new release introduces enhanced security and lifecycle management capabilities for integration platform as a service (iPaaS) deployments, new and updated cloud and on-premises connectors, called Snaps, and a continued focus on productivity and self-service features for “citizen integrators.”

According to a recent Gartner report, “Gartner believes that you, as IT leaders, should understand, embrace and even promote citizen integrators. You should also put in place appropriate guardrails to limit risks and debts, but, as it happened with preceding user-driven phenomena — such as PCs, the Web, bring your own device (BYOD), cloud, smartphones and tablets — ignoring or fighting citizen integrators will prove to be futile. Opposing citizen integrators will also risk undermining your IT department’s relevance in the eyes of business leaders who do want the efficiency and agility they perceive as associated with citizen integrators.” (1)

“We’re seeing a re-imagining of integration in the enterprise as CIOs look for greater business alignment and agility as well as a faster payback on their cloud application and analytics investments,” said Gaurav Dhillon, CEO of SnapLogic. “Our Elastic Integration Platform is now processing over 10 billion JSON documents per month and with a focus on security, performance and developer productivity, the Winter 2015 release enables our customers to further expand their iPaaS deployments from real-time data synchronization and orchestration to big data integration initiatives.”

iPaaS for the Enterprise

SnapLogic goes beyond point-to-point line of business cloud integration tools with a fast, multi-point and modern platform that connects data, applications and APIs. In addition to performance gains throughout the Elastic Integration Platform, Winter 2015 enterprise iPaaS updates include:

Enhanced Encryption – For hybrid deployments, account credentials used to access endpoints from the SnapLogic Integration Cloud can now be encrypted using a private key/public key model. The data is encrypted with a public key and is decrypted with a private key on the SnapLogic Snaplex, which is the data integration processing grid running behind the firewall in this configuration.
Lifecycle Management – The introduction of Phases allows data flow developers to create and test pipelines before moving them into production. Administrators can restrict who can access each Phase and whether or not they have execution permissions. Integration projects can be easily promoted or rolled back as pipelines move through the development to test to production lifecycle.
Improved Developer Productivity – 20+ user experience features and enhancements to the multi-tenant, HTML5 Designer including the ability to easily turn pipelines into Snap Patterns, a right-click Snap context menu for easy delete, copy/paste, or edit, Ctrl/Command+click multi-select and the ability to print or download a document that describes a pipeline, listing the Snaps and pipeline properties.

Big Data Integration

With the Winter 2015 release, SnapReduce 2.0 and the Hadooplex are now available as add-on options for the SnapLogic Elastic Integration Platform, allowing organizations to double data scientist productivity. When enabled, a SnapReduce checkbox is added to the Edit Pipeline dialog and the pipeline will automatically generate MapReduce jobs, which can scale across multiple nodes in a Hadoop cluster. When checked, only a subset of Snaps are available to the pipeline developer, including Data Format Snaps, HDFS Read and Write Snaps, and Snaps that support parallelization of big data integration processing (aggregate filter, join, mapper, sort, union, unique). The Winter 2015 release adds support for JSON Parser and Formatter Snaps and run-time statistics are now available directly within the design environment.

New and Updated Snaps

With each release, SnapLogic expands or updates our library of more than 270 Snaps. With the Winter 2015 release, new Snaps are available for Salesforce Analytics Cloud, Sumo Logic and SAP HANA. Updated Snaps include: Google, HDFS, NetSuite OpenAir and SAP BAPI.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 03, 2015

Representatives of SNOA Sleepwear, a luxury women’s sleepwear brand, confirmed today that CMK will in fact present SNOA at CURVE for the brand’s winter, alongside CMK’s other upscale intimate apparel brands.

Anh Oppenheimer, spokesperson for SNOA, explained that SNOA was first conceived of as a winter-only line, the first of its kind: an American-made, eco-friendly line of luxury sleepwear that is both sexy and warm, something she describes as “an unheard of combination that filled an important niche.”

The winter challenge of being cozy, comfy and looking great is one that SNOA loves and excels at, Oppenheimer explains. To achieve this feat, SNOA Sleepwear uses layers of high-end Micro Modal – a biodegradable, cellulose-based fabric which does not pill and keeps its shape beautifully. Micro Modal is lauded as a smoothing and flattering material on the female form.

2015 is the first winter that CMK will present SNOA at CURVE to boutique and specialty store retailers.

According to Oppenheimer, CURVE is a key trade show event in the intimate apparel industry, and is also an accomplishment for the brand in moving towards selling to the wholesale market – meaning SNOA’s products (http://snoasleepwear.com/nighties/) may become more widely available at brick-and-mortar stores.

SNOA’s summer introduction at this August’s CURVE show to boutiques nation-wide was an entirely new achievement on the national front. This season’s presentation of SNOA by CMK is also a new and exciting first for the young brand as they present for their higher-grossing season, Fall/Winter.

“In its mom & mom days,” Oppenheimer recalls, “SNOA was available only through an online boutique that generated sales via press, blog reviews and local marketing events.”

Based in San Francisco, most press mentions were local and therefore most of SNOA’s happy customers were local as well.

Because of expanded focus on their web efforts in 2014, SNOA’s visibility expanded and orders began to flood in from New York, Virginia (among others), Australia, the UK, and parts of Northern Europe.

The prospect of being sold in boutiques and in ultimately department stores nation-wide is a huge step forward for what was a small-scale company, just a couple years ago.

About SNOA Sleepwear

SNOA Sleepwear was created when its founder, Anh Oppenheimer, climbed into bed wanting to feel not only sexy, but warm.

With an oversized sweatshirt and thick ski socks, she knew that night that although she was warm, her outfit was lacking in sex appeal. In 2011, Oppenheimer launched the very first line of luxury sleepwear that was “devoted to looking sexy and feeling warm.”

SNOA donates a portion of its profits to protecting polar bear habitats through the Center or Biological Diversity. All SNOA Sleepwear purchases benefit this cause.
