Direct Support for AS/400 (iSeries) Hosted Data
The AS/400 (iSeries) platform is still a core, strategic part of many organizations. However, it is viewed as a closed environment, offering challenges for end-user data access and analysis.
The Arbutus AS/400 Server helps organizations address some of their most challenging data delivery and analysis requirements. The Arbutus AS/400 Server resides natively on enterprise servers, providing fast, efficient data access and query processing support for solutions involving Arbutus Agile Analytics, Connect, Migrate, Query and Instant Warehouse.
Data Sources - AS/400 Server
The Arbutus AS/400 Server communicates directly with Analyzer and LegacyLink™ to provide direct, real-time access to all data sources like DB2, IFS, Flat and Spool files.
Strengths of the Arbutus AS/400 Server
Accessing and integrating all data
The Arbutus AS/400 Server specializes in reading both relational and non-relational data sources; including the most complex legacy file structures. The Arbutus AS/400 Server enables each of these data sources to appear as a table in a single unified database. Even though the data may be physically disparate, the tables may be combined in any manner desired, irrespective of the original data source.
Moving data between platforms
The Arbutus AS/400 Server allows data sources to be easily moved between server platforms or from the server to the desktop. Data and databases can be easily brought together from multiple platforms for analysis and reporting purposes.
Analyzing data
Depending on requirements, analysis can take place on the server, the desktop, or a combination of each. The Arbutus AS/400 Server also allows analysis to occur against ‘live’ data or staged data, providing complete analysis flexibility.
Sharing of data
Where the sharing of data is an important part of your work flow processes, the Arbutus AS/400 Server supports the easy sharing of data access and analysis among users. It also provides the option for data access to be controlled by a central administrator, whether on-site or from a remote location.
Moving data out of a closed environment
The Arbutus AS/400 Server can also be used to efficiently move data sources to other platforms or to freely combine with other AS/400 data.
