Informatica Data Replication Business Drivers and Use Cases 5
Why is Data Replication Important? Customers and Analysts agree At the CAB (Customer Advisory Board) meetings, the # 1 asked for enhancement to Informatica s portfolio has been Data Replication Data replication is a flexible technology that can be used for many purposes, including data integration, data movement for data warehouses and ODS, reporting server, migrations,and high-availability requirements. Transactional log-based replication is one of the most common usage scenarios - Forrester TechRadar Q1 2010 Enterprise Data Integration report Survey Sez: Replication is the second most common DI technique. Almost half of DI specialists use data replication and/or data sync. - April 2011 TDWI Best Practices Report, Next Generation Data Integration, available via free download at tdwi.org/best-practices-reports. 6
Business Drivers for Data Replication The Top Use Cases and Benefits Enable Real-Time Data Warehousing for Operational BI and Analytics Improve decisions and insight by combining real time and historical data Respond quickly to changing business conditions with near real time decisions Scale Up While Reducing IT Spend Offload to cost effective systems for query, analysis and reporting Allow more users access without impacting application performance Reduce risk and improve compliance with full audit trail of all transaction activity Continuous Availability for Business Continuity Eliminate downtime from hardware/software upgrades Eliminate downtime from application maintenance Prevent unplanned outages from interrupting information access 7
Primary Data Replication Use Cases Improve Decisions Increase Agility Eliminate Interruptions Reduce Costs Real Time Data Warehousing Data Update Synchronization Continuous Availability Offload Reporting and Analysis Update EDW/ODS continuously with high volumes of current data Send updates to all marts, appliances, etc. for operational BI and analytics Ensure consistent transaction data is in use in sync across the enterprise. Maintain access to original system while upgrading or migrating, then switch to new system Eliminate downtime from maintenance operations Move reporting, query, and analytics to lower-cost systems Scale up end user access without impacting performance 8

Informatica Data Replication A Success Story 16
The Situation Memorylane.com (a.k.a Classmates.com) Oracle 11g application database Netezza Data Warehouse 5 member BA/DA team heads down day to day Adhocs Adhocs - 30% on App db and 70% on Data Warehouse Data migration to Netezza supporting daily ETL s 17
Problems No Real-time Data Heterogeneous adhocs Night mare Parallel ETL s unknown to BI Eng Team Many stage, detail and summary tables unknown to BI Eng team Poorly performing App DB for both Adhoc and other users Productivity loss for BI Team Effecting daily SLA s 18
How Were We Solving It? Building bunch of Informatica 1-1 ETL s Some Shell/SQL script loads Keep writing for new reqs Maintenance headache No checks and balances No Integrity checks More and more requests coming for data in NZ 19
Time for Automation! Need a framework for automation of moving and syncing tables from App DB to WareHouse DB Production to DR (Netezza) Need a tool to assist in data sync Auto checks and balances is a Bliss 20
What are the Options? Buy vs Build Decision Buy!!! Tools explored WisdomForce (Informatica Data Replication - IDR) GoldenGate DBMoto Infosphere 21
Why IDR? Easy to implement Set once and repeat again Even Offshore can do it with step by step instructions Cost effective 22
