Stelo’s vendor-agnostic data replication and migration technology is a responsive, agile solution that supports IBM Db2 for i (formerly iSeries) as a source and a destination. The IBM Db2 relational database products can process vast amounts of data but extracting that data for downstream processing can burden already highly loaded production systems.
Our team has worked with each version of Db2 over the last 25+ years, allowing us to create the most resilient, robust, and efficient solution for offloading source data into other applications. We understand both the IBM i operating system and the integrated relational database to seamlessly bridge your Db2 database within a larger data ecosystem. We can connect all source and destination types for every database, so you can move data from Db2 to anywhere.
Stelo is a cost-efficient, low-impact, real-time data replication software for enterprise Db2 environments. Easily replicate millions of transactions per hour and transfer data sets over 1TB.
Expertise
IBM Replication Experts
Stelo is supported by experts who know your system, not generalists who may not understand data replication.
IBM specific features include:
- Remote Journal support
- Multi-member support
- Support for Minimize Entry Data (MINENTDTA) and (*AFTER)
Customizable
Anywhere-to-Anywhere
Avoid vendor lock-in. Stelo uses heterogeneous replication for bi-directional support across all source and destination types. Our open-standards approach allows us to remain vendor-agnostic while providing highly flexible deployment models.
Easy-to-Use
Set It and Forget It
Simple installation with GUI interface, configuration wizard, and advanced tools makes product setup and operation straightforward, with no programming needed. Once running, Stelo reliably operates in the background without requiring dedicated engineering support to maintain and manage. Alter, add, and drop schema changes are replicated automatically.
Low Impact
Near-Zero Footprint
Our process provides ultra-low CPU load (less than 1% typical) to minimize production impact and avoid operational disruption. No source or destination software installation required. Only transfer data you need thanks to Dataset Partitioning.
Cost-Efficient
Unlimited Connections
A single instance can support multiple sources and destinations without additional licensing. The Stelo license model is independent of the number of cores to either the source or destination, so you only pay for the capacity required to support the transaction volume. Your data ecosystem can change over time without additional costs.
Reliable
Automatic Recovery
If a connection is broken, no data is lost. Stelo will automatically resume replication without needing to re-baseline in the event of a connectivity failure.
Top Notch Distributors offers over half a million residential and commercial electronic access control products, parts, and accessories from more than 60 manufacturers. The company has an SQL-based website with sales, inventory and business data residing on an IBM iSeries with ERP software. However, Top Notch needed real-time data to power the e-commerce store without using iSeries resources and adding extra system load. Stelo now seamlessly moves data into SQL reporting tools that populate a dynamic e-store with up-to-the-second inventory and provides all departments with access to the information they most need.
Stelo delivered the following results:
- Site traffic doubled and e-commerce sales from their online store increased dramatically
- The IT team reduced time spent on reporting and data issues by 10-20%
- Employees gained instantaneous data access to save time on checking inventory levels to process orders
