IBM Data Replication vs. IBM InfoSphere Information Server

IBM InfoSphere Data Replication replication allows work on the daily operation and analyzes the replicated data in real-time with no downgrade of performance. This happens thanks to the incremental data load using the log files instead of querying the database for any changes. It serves as an online backup of the database uploading the data to the cloud in real-time.

You can use infosphere: -If you have multiple targets and source systems and they are different than each other. -If your infostructure is so big and unplaned well so you can't find what you want to see. -If your databases not so strong to process your data

• Performance to detect changes using Incremental Data Delivery with logs.
• Update data in the cloud in real time.
• Saves data in clusters using Apache Hadoop

Incentivized

• It is very strong to make transformations/data derivations
• It is very easy to connect to various external data sources. It has an interface (stages) for each connection that simplifies the task
• It is a stable platform. And that parallelism helps make it fast for loading, if the process is well designed

• Better documentation and examples of Console and API.
• Integration with machine learning to analyze the data.
• Examples of how to replicate data from multiple sources and databases to one data lake.

Incentivized

• Lack of a strong web development environment.
• Metadata propagation in Jobs is somewhat complex.
• The possibility to develop jobs in Parallel and/or Server Engines is confusing.

• Scale of implementation
• IBM techsupport

I particularly believe that Information Server, especially DataStage, is superior in many aspects to the Oracle Data Integrator tool. Several market analysts such as Gartner and / or Forrester better position DataStage on the Oracle solution.

• Analize the daily data in real time using data lakes and Machine Learning.
• Performance of the replication without affecting the relational database of the applications.
• Use of Apache Hadoop for data clustering improving performance.

Incentivized

• Information Server can positively impact the costs of companies by increasing the productivity of development and therefore reduce their time and costs. It is estimated that DataStage can increase a developer's productivity by 40% on average.
• Better data governance
• Improve data quality and reduce bad data impacts
