Fast Clone

Optimize Database Cloning Without Compromising System Performance

Informatica Fast Clone quickly unloads and extracts Oracle data into a universally portable format for movement into a variety of target systems. Without compromising production system performance, it allows high-speed cloning of terabytes of this data into a host of other databases, data warehouses, analytical appliances, and Big Data stores such as Hadoop. Its rapid unload, high ratio of compression, and highly parallelized distribution of data across heterogeneous systems increases your productivity by rapidly providing the data whenever and wherever it’s needed.

• Reduce storage needs and network overload by rapidly extracting and compressing data from large databases
• Accelerate project delivery by automatically preparing input for various high-speed loaders
• Ensure high-performance, scalable, and secure data transfer and migration
