New Apatar connector allows users to read/write data from/to DB2 tables, create integrations using multiple data sources, and improve the quality of data extracted from or written to IBM DB2 family products.
Apatar, Inc., the leading provider of open source software tools for the data integration market, today officially announced connectivity to IBM DB2, a family of relational database management system products from IBM that are widely used in enterprise applications, corporate ERP systems, and mainframes. The new connector for the Apatar Open Source Data Integration toolset allows reading and writing of data from/to DB2 tables and improves the quality of data during migration or integration, all without custom coding. With this new release, Apatar enables both developers and users to easily link DB2 information between third-party applications (Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), other databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MySQL), flat files (CSV/TXT), and the top Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr, Amazon S3, RSS feeds).
Integration between mainframes and major corporate databases and applications
According to Gartner, IBM DB2 is currently deployed within 34 percent of enterprise applications worldwide and was recently experiencing the highest growth compared to other major databases. In 2007, DB2 was positioned in the Leaders section of the Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse DBMS. Whether or not your business deploys DB2-based applications, this new connector from Apatar enables data integration between DB2 and other heterogeneous systems, including mainframes, with multiple data sources and targets possible.
As a popular database, DB2 is very often used behind ERP systems, both innovative and legacy ones, said Renat Khasanshyn, CEO and founder of Apatar. I'm pleased to announce that the new Apatar connector for DB2 can help corporate developers and DBAs improve the quality of this enterprise data and ease the integration of data stored within multiple locations. With this new solution embedded into the visual Apatar application, migration from legacy systems can be performed by drag-and-drop even by business users.
