IBM InfoSphere

IBM InfoSphere is a data management family featuring InfoSphere DataStage for ETL, QualityStage for data quality, and Information Governance Catalog. Users can design complex data flows to transform, cleanse, and load data into warehouses or lakes. A job scheduling engine orchestrates daily or event-based runs. The governance catalog documents data lineage, definitions, and ownership. InfoSphere’s parallel processing scales large data volumes efficiently. Though enterprise-oriented, smaller shops might adopt subsets of the suite for robust governance and end-to-end data integration that complement IBM DB2 or other systems.
