Neeraj
Nuremberg, Germany, 2008-February 26, 2008- Lattix Inc. (http://
www.lattix.com), the leading provider of innovative software
architecture management solutions, today announced the release of its
newest solution, Lattix 4.0. This solution includes powerful new
functionality to enable architects, developers and managers to
visualize, re-architect, test, and communicate the architecture of
their complex software systems.
Customer-driven innovations in Lattix 4.0 include support for large-
scale re-architecting and service extraction for SOA. Components and
services can now be extracted utilizing the new tagging, impact
analysis and reporting capabilities. Scalability enhancements include
the display and manipulation of systems with tens of millions of lines
of code and hundreds of thousands of database elements.
"The eBay marketplace runs on a very large global software stack,"
said Vijay Raghavendra, director of the Platform Team at eBay. "We
have worked with Lattix to incorporate new features in Lattix 4.0 that
enable us to effectively modularize and maintain our large codebase."
Also new to Lattix 4.0 is support for SQL Server which expands
database support beyond Oracle. The new SQL Server module in Lattix
4.0 provides visualization and management of the data architecture of
SQL Server databases. The SQL Server module captures the dependency
relationships that exist between a wide variety of database elements,
including schemas, tables, views, stored procedures, and triggers.
Lattix 4.0 enables data architects, developers, and DBAs to understand
the impact of change and prevent unexpected results.
"Having served more than 12 million customers, VistaPrint is the
leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and
customized printed products," said Jeromy Carriere, chief architect at
VistaPrint. "We are using the .NET module and the new SQL Server
module in Lattix 4.0 to provide architectural visibility and impact
analysis as we refactor our large .NET and SQL Server based enterprise
infrastructure."
"Our customers have been asking for additional capabilities for re-
architecting complex software, preparing for SOA transformation, and
migrating databases," explains Neeraj Sangal, president and founder of
Lattix. "We have responded with innovative features, performance
improvements, and new modules and reports to meet their needs."
Lattix has pioneered the Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) (http://
www.lattix.com/technology/whatisdsm.php) approach which uses
dependencies to create the most accurate and scalable blueprint of
software applications, databases and systems. Architects and
developers can analyze their systems in detail, edit the structure to
create what-if scenarios, and specify design rules, allowing them to
formalize and communicate the intended architecture to the entire
organization.
