What is Data Replication?A set of technologies that automates the cloning of application data – thousands and thousands of

tables at once

It also manages the capture, routing and delivery of transaction data in real-time

What the market is sayingCustomers and Analysts agree…

“Data replication is a flexible technology that can be used for many purposes, including data integration, data movement for data warehouses and ODS,

reporting server, migrations, and high-availability requirements. Transactional log-based replication is one of the most common usage scenarios”

Forrester TechRadar™ “Q1 2010 Enterprise Data Integration report “

At the CAB (Customer Advisory Board) meetings, the # 1 asked for enhancement to Informatica’s portfolio has been Data Replication

“Data Replication tools are the second most popular data integration tools types after ETL tools”

Gartner’s 6/6/08 report “Survey on Data Integration Practices Shows Move Toward Strategic Initiatives”

• Reduce downtime on any planned maintenance

• Lower costs • Mitigate risk by moving from

unsupported database version

This private financial firm had to upgrade the oracle systems and migrate to Linux to achieve currency on the versions without causing any disruptions to their

customers .

KEY BUSINESS IMPERATIVE AND IT INITIATIVE

INFORMATICA ADVANTAGE RESULTS/BENEFITS• Minimum disruption to first line

business applications• Keep the operational systems

up to date with latest versions of database software

• Reduce cost by migrating to Linux

• Ensure there is no overhead on the source system

THE CHALLENGE

• Ensure no system overhead on the source system by performing log based capture

• Effectively synchronize the source and target systems and continue to replicate the changes till the switchover

• Seamless transition from initial synchronization to real time change data capture
