Clover ETL Open Source Engine
All of our Clover Editions are built on our Open Source Engine. The engine is a Java library and does not come with any User Interface components such as a Graph Designer. The developer / embedding application is responsible for managing graphs rather than using the Clover Designer or Server UI. However, your application does have access to most of powerful data transformation and ETL features that Clover uses throughout its own product range.
The CloverETL Open Source Engine can be embedded in any application, commercial ones as well. The Open Source Engine does not contain a number of components that the full engine contains. We do not provide support for the Open Source Engine.
OEM Program
We also offer the Clover OEM Foundation program that provides support and licensing for those users who are looking for development support or special licensing arrangements.
Community Edition
This is not an Open Source offering, although it uses the CloverETL Open Source Engine for all data transformations. The intention is to offer basic data transformation capabilities to the general community at no cost. It offers a full insight into the Clover Designer and permits execution of data transformations at full speed. However, it does not include the full set of transformation components. CloverCare support is not available although forum support is.
