"Stelo has real Informix experience and 2-way replication. We hit some bugs and bumps along the way and thought we might have to pivot away from the Stelo Data Replicator, but Stelo showed they truly believe in their product, really wanted us to succeed. and got us there!"

Need

The company had a payment processing platform and web apps for customer acquisition running separately on Informix and Oracle that were not yet integrated or aligned. Each platform had three different data structures and they did not want to be locked into a single platform or database in the future. While they created a data model to get alignment in AWS - their cloud data required bidirectional Data Replication between Aurora MySQL and the Informix and Oracle systems still used on the backend.

Solution

ONYX CenterSource considered building their own solution using SDKs, but maintaining such a solution on an ongoing basis was considered cost prohibitive. The company performed proof of concepts (POCs) with five different vendors. Stelo was the solution which best fit the company's needs by supporting all of the required database platforms. It was also the only solution which provided bidirectional data replication with Aurora MySQL, Informix and Oracle.
