A modern hybrid cloud approach for cloud access to data in Db2 for z/OS

IBM Data Gate and IBM Cloud Pak® for Data enable organizations to synchronize IBM® Db2® for z/OS® data for hybrid cloud, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives with reduced cost and effort.

Applications can access a transactionally consistent, synchronized copy of Db2 for z/OS data, hosted by a separate system, enabling a wide range of target platforms including public cloud, on-premises and private cloud deployments.

For organizations with an established IBM Cloud Pak for Data environment, Data Gate simplifies making Db2 for z/OS data available and colocated with cloud-based applications.

• Built-in integrated synchronization protocol provides an end-to-end solution. 
• IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) enabled log data provider captures Db2 for z/OS log changes and sends consolidated, encrypted changes to a log data processor.
• Integrated log data provider within Db2 for z/OS only requires configuration, no additional installation or maintenance.

Features

• **Optimized for low latency and high throughput: **Provides a zIIP enabled, highly optimized, purpose-built, unidirectional, resilient, standardized approach for synchronizing data from Db2 for z/OS.
• **Improved Db2 for z/OS efficiency: **Reroute resource-intensive Db2 for z/OS queries to Data Gate with IBM Cloud Pak for Data. Archive time partitioned tables from enterprise disk to lower-cost cloud storage.
• **Transactional consistency: **Data Gate with Cloud Pak for Data offers a patented, integrated protocol to help ensure transactionally consistent data between host-based transaction systems and cloud-based applications.

Benefits

• **Synchronize data quickly and efficiently: **Synchronize Db2 for z/OS data to Cloud Pak for Data with an efficient, integrated approach.
• **Colocate data for next-generation cloud applications: **Colocate data originating in Db2 for z/OS with your applications to minimize query latency.
• **Access data with transactional consistency and isolation: **Access the most current Db2 for z/OS data without impacting transactional workloads.
