InfoSphere® Optim Data Growth Solution enables you to archive historical transaction records from mission-critical database applications. Application data can be safely relocated to a more secure archive, thereby helping to streamline the production database to aid your efforts to reduce processing overhead. Archived information remains readily accessible. The Optim Data Growth Solution can help you improve application performance and support data-retention compliance programs and efforts to lower IT costs.

 

InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution allows you to create realistic, right-sized test databases, edit data to force error and boundary conditions, and compare baseline data against successive test results to help you pinpoint application errors that could otherwise go undetected. By helping to streamline your test data management process, the Optim Test Data Management Solution can help you improve quality, speed iterative testing tasks, and accelerate revenue generation.

 

InfoSphere Optim Test Data Management Solution - Data Masking Option is an optional, chargeable component that enables Optim Test Data Management solution customers to mask and transform sensitive test data as part of their efforts to avoid exposing critical business data. Optim masking techniques include using arithmetic expressions, sub-strings, random or sequential number generation, date aging, and more. Most importantly, you can propagate masked values from a parent table to related tables at all levels, maintaining the referential integrity of the data.

 

InfoSphere Optim Application Retirement makes retiring legacy and redundant applications easier and safer by giving you the ability to archive data from decommissioned applications. It enables ongoing, application-independent access to the data for query and reporting. Thus, organizations can reduce costs and infrastructure complexity by safely retiring applications without having to move all data into new systems or keep retired systems available for access.
