Azure SQL Managed Instance vs. IBM Data Replication

Data management scenarios where there is a strong need to provide dynamic context for web based applications. Also can work as an infrastructure piece for ticketing systems without relying on another set of database software. The ease of importing data from Microsoft Excel &/or .csv files makes this really easy to use when importing data into the managed instance.

IBM InfoSphere Data Replication replication allows work on the daily operation and analyzes the replicated data in real-time with no downgrade of performance. This happens thanks to the incremental data load using the log files instead of querying the database for any changes. It serves as an online backup of the database uploading the data to the cloud in real-time.

Azure to our enviironment where we have everything integrated stacks up far better than MySQL where we would have to reinvent and use everything to fit a MySQL environment including the data and the commands within that data. Furthermore, doesn't work really well on SQL Management Studio which makes it completely useless for what we are trying to do.

Incentivized

• Decision Driven decisions have been quicker
• Negatively cumbersome at start when training
• Positive use of PaaS services instead of devoting VMs

Incentivized

• Analize the daily data in real time using data lakes and Machine Learning.
• Performance of the replication without affecting the relational database of the applications.
• Use of Apache Hadoop for data clustering improving performance.
