Stelo Data Replication and Integration Solutions

Choosing data replication software is about more than finding a tool that can move data. The wrong solution can create connector gaps, production load, rising costs, and avoidable rebuild work as requirements change.

Use our updated Data Replication Buying Guide to compare vendors with today’s data architectures in mind. The guide includes practical evaluation criteria, vendor questions, TCO considerations, trial guidance, and a companion worksheet to help your team compare solutions side by side.

This customer needed to scale its in-house IBM Db2 database system to provide remote employees with fast, reliable access to shared company data without sacrificing data security or integrity. The Cloud-based solution entailed transferring its customer relationship management (CRM) and support-tracking applications to Amazon Web Services. Most importantly, the newly architected system required the ability to maintain a local hot backup without service interruptions. Stelo delivered the following results:

Remote employees now have reliable, secure 24/7 access to all corporate data
Real-time access to 50,000 customers and their data is instantly accessible
Cloud storage with authorized access gives optimal flexibility and security

This is a key area where you can separate the wheat from the chaff. The best replication solutions deploy in under 24 hours. The worst require a week or more of configuration. Deployment time is also a good way to assess reliability. If the initial configuration is complex and time-consuming, you can expect stability and performance problems to arise in the future. Benchmark copies of data should not require more than 24 hours to create unless you are replicating an unusually large amount of data. If initial customizations take a lot of time upfront, you can expect similar lags when customizing in the future as well. High performance software does not require much tweaking and you should be worried about the reliability and accuracy of solutions that do.

Make sure to ask if you can choose which rows, columns, or tables are replicated. Choosing what you want to replicate reduces load and ensures that data is shared appropriately. The very best solutions let you not only choose what data to replicate but let you transform it as well. This ETL functionality can solve all sorts of data integrity problems and resolve format differences easily. Avoid solutions that simply replicate everything in bulk as this creates security challenges, increases processing requirements, and leads to additional data management costs.

Striim is a streaming analytics platform with data replication capabilities. Stelo is purpose-built for teams that need reliable, near real-time data replication without added platform complexity. Stelo supports heterogeneous, anywhere-to-anywhere replication and is designed for fast setup, low production system impact, predictable deployment, and long-term support across legacy, current, cloud, and hybrid environments.

For teams focused on operational replication rather than building streaming analytics pipelines, Stelo offers a more direct path: config-based setup, automatic data modeling and DDL generation, flexible deployment options, and expert support across the full source-to-destination path.
