CONNX data movement and migration
Your company’s IT portfolio is constantly changing by introducing new data systems (such as big data and the cloud), extending the usage of open source or by consolidating and replacing database systems across the organization. That’s why you need CONNX, which provides comprehensive data movement and transformation capabilities by providing connectivity to more than 150 data sources.
Whenever changes are taking place in the IT infrastructure or application landscape within an organization, there will be a need to move or migrate data among new and existing systems. There can be different scenarios, each requiring a specific set of functionality:
- Migrating a vendor-specific RDBMS to an open-source DBMS, such as Oracle® to PostgreSQL, IBM® Informix® to MySQL®
- Consolidating a multi-vendor RDBMS to a single or fewer RBDMS, such as Sybase® to SQL Server®, Db2® to Oracle
- Moving data to cloud databases, such as MySQL to Microsoft® Azure® SQL Database, Oracle to Amazon® AWS RDS, SQL Server® to Amazon REDSHIFT®
- Providing or extending Extract, Transformation, Load (ETL) capabilities to connect and transform legacy data sources to a data warehouse environment, such as OpenVMS® Rdb to Teradata®
- Moving data from transactional databases, such as Adabas, VSAM or IMS, to a big data or data lake environment, such as Hadoop.®
Whatever your scenario, you’re covered by CONNX.
