Is it possible to write my own addon/datasource?

Hi,
I'm evaluating force.com, and wanted to please ask if it has a concept similar to Heroku "addons".
Namley if I have some legacy datastore, with legacy TCP protocol, legacy java driver, and legacy query language (not even relational). Could Apex be extended to invoke it, through my TCP protocol?
Or am I limited to the option of exposing it as REST/SOAP which Apex can consume?

Thanks

As per my understanding you can only use the Rest/SOAP Api to call your own webservices which in turn can connect to your datastore.
