Synchronize IBM Z data to the cloud for modern cloud data architectures

Transactional data is the definitive source of truth and represents the current state of the business for many organizations. This highly valuable IBM Z® data, combined with other lakehouse data, can provide unique predictive value for artificial intelligence (AI) insights. Seamlessly synchronize valuable enterprise IBM Z data to your IBM® watsonx.data™ lakehouse to unlock the power of mainframe transactional data for AI, by using the most up-to-date transactional data in machine learning or AI models.

• Reduce time for accessing and analyzing mainframe data with a revolutionary simplified approach to synchronizing mainframe data.
• Apply as much compute to a complex analysis as you want and need without impacting operational applications.
• Support cloud-based lakehouse initiatives with reduced cost and effort.
• Synchronize IBM® Db2® for z/OS®, IMS and VSAM data to the Iceberg open table data format in watsonx.data.

Features

• **Optimized for low latency and high throughput: **IBM Data Gate for watsonx provides a simple, highly optimized, purpose-built, unidirectional, resilient, standardized approach for synchronizing data from Db2® for z/OS, IMS® and VSAM to the Iceberg open table data format in watsonx.data.
• **Integrated within Db2 for z/OS and watsonx: **Engineered as part of Db2 for z/OS and watsonx.data to simplify incorporating transactional mainframe data for analysis and to build and run traditional machine learning and generative AI applications.

Benefits

• **Simple, efficient data synchronization: **A simple, efficient, integrated, approach to synchronize Db2® for z/OS, IMS® and VSAM data to watsonx.data.
• **Modernized mainframe data source access: **Purpose-built to deliver data originating from the mainframe for access in IBM watsonx™.
• **Minimal impact on transactional workloads: **Simplifies providing the most current Db2® for z/OS, IMS® and VSAM data for lakehouse analysis and AI model development and deployment.
