In combination with Pervasive Data Integrator(TM), the DataCloud platform will allow Pervasive, its partners and customers to rapidly configure and deliver Integration-as-a-Service solutions for instant, affordable Internet-based integration.

Pervasive DataCloud is:

-- Scalable - Its multi-tenant architecture can support multiple users and applications for delivery of diverse packaged integration solutions. The packaged integrations themselves scale to handle fluctuating data volumes.

-- Flexible - Pervasive DataCloud supports SaaS-to-SaaS, SaaS-to-on premise or on-premise to on-premise integration.

-- Easy to access and configure - Customers can access Pervasive DataCloud-based integration solutions via a browser, requiring no specialized local hardware or software.

-- Robust - Provides automatic delivery of updates as well as monitoring activity by account, application or user, allowing effortless result tracking.

-- Distributable - Users seeking to integrate to applications behind the firewall can utilize a Pervasive data gateway, a lightweight, portable, remote subset of DataCloud capabilities.

-- Affordable- The platform enables delivery of packaged integration solutions in a pay-as-you-go model with low subscription fees.

As users access these Web-based integrations built with Pervasive Data Integrator(TM), Pervasive DataCloud runs seamlessly in the background, providing a platform for robust on-demand services with complex business logic. It has been architected to host fully pre-built, out-of-the-box integration solutions like Pervasive DataSynch that let users continue to use their current SaaS or on-premise applications while data flows seamlessly between them, with no need to learn or manage any other software. Pervasive DataSynch 2.0 and Pervasive DataRep(TM) for Salesforce, debuting at SaaSCon March 25-26 in Santa Clara, Calif., leverage the Pervasive data gateway technology. Over time, Pervasive DataCloud can also host pre-built, preconfigured integration solutions developed by Pervasive channel partners.

Leveraging Pervasive DataCloud and using Pervasive Data Integrator, Pervasive is now able to create powerful end-to-end, fully configured integration solutions for on-premise, on demand, hybrid and embedded deployment. Developers no longer need different products and platforms to tackle the full range of modern deployment options. They now have the freedom to choose where integration processes are executed and managed and to effortlessly change their deployment models as rapidly as their business needs change. With Pervasive's 20-year history of delivering data and application integration, customers can rely on deep expertise and reliable support, including product updates to all users to adjust immediately for changes in SaaS or on-premise endpoints.

"Companies that are considering SaaS are often concerned about their ability to integrate on-demand solutions with legacy on-premise applications and with other on-demand solutions," said Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies and founder of the SaaS Showplace. "The Pervasive DataCloud platform responds to these concerns by offering a range of integration solutions as a service."

"True innovation delivers quantum leaps in choice and agility for customers," said Mike Hoskins, CTO and general manager of Integration Products at Pervasive. "Pervasive DataCloud capitalizes on Pervasive's deep integration heritage to enable cutting-edge delivery of low-cost, out-of-the-box integration solutions that align with the speed and economics of SaaS."
