Generally Available Now: Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud – An Azure Native ISV Service

We are happy to launch the Informatica® Intelligent Data Management Cloud™ (IDMC) – now a generally available Azure Native ISV Service. This offering is the result of a close collaboration between Microsoft and Informatica. The integration enables the creation and management of Informatica IDMC organizations and serverless runtime environments within the Azure Management console. With serverless runtime environments, you are not required to instantiate VMs in your Azure tenants to install Informatica secure agents. You can focus on the creation of data management tasks without worrying about managing the infrastructure.

Azure Native ISV Services enable you to easily provision, manage and tightly integrate ISV software and services on Azure. By leveraging the power of Azure, Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud — An Azure Native ISV Service, offers you a range of benefits, including scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It also provides secure connectivity to the Informatica IDMC portal using single sign-on via Azure portal, CLI and SDK. You can easily sign up for this service via Azure Marketplace.

Managing Informatica secure agent infrastructure in your Azure tenant could be an elaborate and time-consuming task, requiring expertise in areas such as networking, security and scaling. By using serverless runtime environments, you can focus on integration mappings while Informatica manages the underlying infrastructure.

Seamless Onboarding

You can create an Informatica organization or link an existing Informatica organization in the Azure pod from the Azure portal, CLI or SDK like any other Azure resource. For example, you can discover the service from the search bar in the Azure portal (see Figures 1, 2 and 3).

Single Sign-on to the IDMC Portal

An auto-generated SSO link securely redirects you to the IDMC portal (see Figures 4 and 5).

Management of IDMC Serverless Runtime Environments  

Within the Azure portal, you can create and manage Informatica Cloud Data Integration Advanced Serverless, a service of IDMC, to eliminate the need for creating VMs to run secure agents (see Figures 6 and 7).

Azure SDK and CLI Integration

You can easily manage IDMC resources from Azure Java, Java Script, Python, Go and .NET SDKs and from command line interfaces like Azure CLI and PowerShell. This enables you to automate repetitive tasks and complex processes using scripts and provides greater flexibility and customization in managing Azure resources. CLIs can also easily be integrated into continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, enabling seamless integration with DevOps practices and workflows.

Set up and subscribe to your Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud – An Azure Native ISV Service from Azure Marketplace. Follow the documentation to create an Informatica organization and runtime environments for deploying your integration mappings.
