Overview

Powering the world’s mission-critical workloads   

IBM® DataStage® is an industry-leading data integration solution supporting extract, transform, load (ETL) and extract, load, transform (ELT) patterns. It enables organizations to connect disparate sources, transform large volumes of complex data at scale and deliver trusted data across multicloud and hybrid cloud environments for analytics and AI.

Features

Accelerate pipeline development

Separation between a fully managed, cloud-based control panel for designing pipelines and a secure data panel for execution wherever data resides, minimizing egress and ingress, latency and security risks.
