Multicloud, AI-powered data integration

IBM® DataStage® is an industry-leading data integration tool that helps you design, develop and run jobs that move and transform data. At its core, the DataStage tool supports extract, transform and load (ETL) and extract, load and transform (ELT) patterns. A basic version of the software is available for on-premises deployment, but to reduce data integration time and costs, upgrade to DataStage for IBM Cloud Pak® for Data and experience powerful automated integration capabilities in a hybrid or multicloud environment.
