No-Code Productivity

• Replaces hand-coding within Hadoop through the visual Informatica development environment
• Facilitates reuse and collaboration with a common integrated development environment (IDE)

Universal Data Access

• Provides access to big transaction data, including RDBMS, OLTP, OLAP, ERP, CRM, mainframe, cloud, and others
• Provides access to big interaction data, including social media data, log files, machine sensor data, Web sites, blogs, documents, emails, and other unstructured or multi-structured data

High-Speed Data Ingestion and Extraction

• Accesses, loads, replicates, transforms, and extracts big data between source and target systems or directly into Hadoop or your data warehouse
• Ingests and extracts data at high speeds with high-performance connectivity through native APIs to source and target systems with parallel processing

Unlimited Scalability

• Processes all types of big data at any scale—from terabytes to petabytes
• Eliminates having to develop specialized code on distributed computing platforms such as Hadoop

Optimized Performance for Lowest Cost

• Deploys big data processing on the highest-performance and most cost-effective data processing platforms (based on data volumes, data type, latency requirements, and available hardware)
• Maximizes current investments and capacity whether you deploy data processing on SMP machines, traditional grid clusters, distributed computing platforms like Hadoop, or data warehouse appliances

ETL on Hadoop

• Provides an extensive library of prebuilt transformation capabilities on Hadoop, including data type conversions and string manipulations, high-performance cache-enabled lookups, joiners, sorters, routers, and aggregations
• Includes a codeless graphical development environment where big data flows on Hadoop can be developed rapidly

Profiling on Hadoop

• Profiles data on Hadoop through the Informatica developer tool and a browser-based analyst tool
• Enables developers, analysts, and data scientists to understand data, identify data quality issues, collaborate on data flow specifications, and validate mapping transformation and rules logic

Design Once and Deploy Anywhere

• Allows ETL developers to focus on data and transformation logic without having to worry where the ETL process is deployed—on Hadoop or traditional data processing platforms
• Enables developers to design once, without any specialized knowledge of Hadoop concepts and languages, and easily deploy data flows on Hadoop or traditional systems

Complex Data Parsing on Hadoop

• Makes it easy to access and parse complex, multi-structured, unstructured, and industry-standard data such as Web logs, JSON, XML, and machine device data
• Prebuilt parsers for market data and industry standards like FIX, SWIFT, ACORD, HL7, HIPAA, and EDI are also available and licensed separately

Entity Extraction and Data Classification on Hadoop

• Easily extracts and classifies entities related to your customers and products from unstructured data such as emails, social media data, and documents
• Enriches master data with insights into customer behavior or product information such as competitive pricing

Mixed Workflows

• Enables your IT team to easily coordinate, schedule, monitor, and manage all interrelated big data processes and workflows across your traditional and Hadoop environments
• Lets you drill down into individual Hadoop jobs

High Availability

• Provides 24x7 high availability with seamless failover, flexible recovery, and connection resilience
• Ensures that new products and services developed using big data insights can scale and be available 24x7 for mission-critical operations
