InfoSphere Replication Server for z/OS

IBM® InfoSphere® Replication Server for z/OS® distributes, consolidates and synchronizes data

Its capabilities provides high availability, and business continuity solutions as well as data distribution and consolidation.

• Helps provide continuous business availability for System z® environments through robust, high throughput data replication.
• Delivers two replication models – message queue-based and SQL-based – in one solution, providing asynchronous log-based replication that maximizes flexibility and function.
• Supports data sharing configurations for DB2 for z/OS in both models, automatically merging the changes captured from the logs.
• Through queue-based replication, supports high-volume, low-latency data replication with managed conflict detection and resolution.
• Through SQL-based replication, maximizes flexibility in managing schedules, transformation, and distribution topologies for populating data warehouses or data marts.
• Maintains data consistency between applications and efficiently manages distribution and consolidation scenarios among multiple locations.
• Supports DB2 for z/OS as both a source and target.
