Product Overview

DataReach's architecture facilitated high-speed data transfer between z/OS-based DB2 databases residing on EMC disk devices and various database management systems (DBMS) on UNIX and Windows platforms. The main components included data transfer agents, a control process, and interface modules. These components communicated using proprietary protocols optimized for EMC disk technology.

The data transfer agents managed the movement of data, while the control process coordinated operations and managed resources. Interface modules provided connectivity to different DBMS, such as Oracle, Sybase, and Informix. DataReach leveraged EMC disk features for optimized data movement.

However, specific details about the architecture are not available due to the product's end-of-life status. For similar functionality, consider alternatives like IBM Db2 Connect or Attunity Connect, which offer modern architectures and enhanced features.
