Cost-Effectively Scale Data Integration Environments with Grid Computing
The Informatica PowerCenter Enterprise Grid Option exploits grid computing architectures for data integration. This option minimizes the amount and frequency of data mapping modifications needed to respond to changing conditions. The parallel execution plan can be determined dynamically at run time. With this option, your IT organization can reduce the administrative overhead of supporting grid computing environments and cost-effectively scale data integration initiatives using low-cost, commodity hardware.
- Enhance IT’s agility and responsiveness to changing business demands by being able to adapt to sudden and dramatic increases in data volumes
- Make the best use of available hardware by distributing and executing data integration work across heterogeneous computing resources
- Increase system reliability and IT productivity with high availability, dynamic partitioning and load balancing
Informatica PowerCenter Enterprise Grid Option Key Features
-
Workflow and session-on-grid to distribute processing of a workflow or single session across multiple server nodes on a grid
-
Adaptive load balancing to select the best node for session execution based on resource requirements and availability and to ensure smooth, scalable operations when data volumes spike or unexpected utilization loads on the grid
-
High availability to ensure uptime through self-monitoring of Informatica PowerCenter services for seamless resilience, failover, and recovery
-
Dynamic partitioning to automatically adjust the parallel execution plan in response to additions/removals of nodes from the grid, without changing the logic
-
Web-based administration console to provide secure, centralized control over the provisioning of server nodes and Informatica PowerCenter resource services both into and out of the grid
-
Robust connectivity to allow heterogeneous hardware operating systems to be used across the grid and interoperate with enterprise grid resource software
