Where InfoSphere Data Replication fits in the suite architecture

In its simplest form, InfoSphere® Data Replication securely integrates information across heterogeneous data stores in real time. By integrating with other InfoSphere and IBM® products, you can extend data replication throughout your enterprise.

Integration with InfoSphere DataStage® provides real-time data feeds to ETL processes with transactional integrity and no staging required, and enables real-time validity checks of changed data against defined data rules during the transformation process. Real-time data can also be fed into IBM Netezza® for scalable, high-volume replication of data.

Change data capture can be implemented with InfoSphere Information Server. Source metadata is integrated into InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog, enabling functions like impact analysis and data lineage to extend from the initial log-based replication task throughout the rest of the information management infrastructure. Changes are instantly replicated in the shared metadata repository so that all InfoSphere Information Server components have access to the most current data.

When combined with InfoSphere Data Replication for Db2® for z/OS®, your organization can extend data replication capabilities to the mainframe. This integration enables your organization to replicate heterogeneous data to and from Db2 for z/OS in a secure environment that is always available.
