Data Replication with tcVISION

These days data replication, data synchronisation and data distribution are key tasks of a successful enterprise information technology platform. How this data is handled is not only critical but essential for any successful organisation in today’s world.

In these times of digitalisation and system diversity, having business critical data in the right place at the right time is not only an extreme challenge for any organisation but also essential to avoid both costly processing delays and customer dissatisfaction as more and more enterprise data is required for online applications.

tcVISION provides easy and fast data migration for mainframe application modernisation projects and enables bi-directional data replication between mainframe, cloud, Linux, Unix, and Windows platforms

Areas of application: Real-Time analytics, Big Data, data warehousing, reporting, business intelligence, data quality management, application modernisation, work offload to reduce the mainframe’s workload, migration of data and systems, usage of cloud technologies, SOA, etc.

Integrated Change Data Capture Technologies

tcVISION automatically detects data changes (read, update, delete) to databases and files on the mainframe and on Linux, UNIX, MS-Windows – without programming effort.

Real-Time or event-driven data access – also bi-directionally

tcVISION distributes the necessary change data to the target systems continuously, event-driven or in intervals – depending on the user’s requirements.

Bi-directional data synchronisation

tcVISION allows sychronising data bi-directionally, loop-back prevention is integrated.

No middle-ware necessary

tcVISION transfers data in “raw format” and compressed via TCP/IP.

Controlled data exchange

tcVISION provides many mechanisms to control data flow. This makes the data exchange revision-proof.

Efficient bulk transfer

tcVISION provides powerful bulk processors. Mass data transportation for initial load or cyclic data exchange is easy, fast and reliable.

Transaction safety

Only committed data changes are captured.

Data mapping

Integrated data mapping functions provide information on the structures of data sources and targets.

Metadata Repository

The tcVISION repository contains all structure information, all replication rules, scripts for data transport and application to the target systems. It is the central place for control and surveillance of all exchange processes.

Benefits of tcVISION

• Time effort for implementation and application of data exchange processes of all kinds is significantly reduced.
• The synchronisation solution is independent from database manufacturers and offers arbitrary combinations of source and target databases.
• Unified and central application for mainframe, open server, cloud and hadoop platforms.
• Reduction of resource consumption to a minimum – mainframe MIPS consumption is avoided.
• Maximal data topicality – Real-Time Data Replication across application and system boundaries.
• Programming effort and the need for experts on data processing and application are avoided.
• Accountability and fail safety for all data movements
