DI Deployment Models

Option 1: IIDR Agent On-Prem and DI in Kubernetes Cloud

This is the recommended deployment model for when the IIDRClosed IBM Infosphere Data Replication. This is a solution to efficiently capture and replicate data, and changes made to the data in real-time from various data sources, including mainframes, and streams them to target systems. For example, used to move data from databases to the In-Memory Data Grid. It is used for Continuous Data Capture (CDC) to keep data synchronized across environments. database source agent, such as Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, is running on-prem inside a source database server whilst all the remaining DIClosed The Data Integration (DI) layer is a vital part of the Digital Integration Hub (DIH) platform. It is responsible for a wide range of data integration tasks such as ingesting data in batches or streaming data changes. This is performed in real-time from various sources and systems of record (SOR. The data then resides in the In-Memory Data Grid (IMDG), or Space, of the GigaSpaces Smart DIH platform. components are running in a KubernetesClosed An open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. cloud environment.

Deployment Model Prerequisites

  1. VPN is configured between the on-prem deployment and AWS Kubernetes segment

  2. IIDR Source Database Agent software can be installed and configured on the source database server

  3. There is a bi-directional working network communication between the IIDR Source Agent and the DI Components in AWS

 

Option 2: All IIDR Components On-Prem and DI in a Kubernetes Cloud

This deployment model allows installation of all IIDR related resources on-premises while the restClosed REpresentational State Transfer. Application Programming Interface An API, or application programming interface, is a set of rules that define how applications or devices can connect to and communicate with each other. A REST API is an API that conforms to the design principles of the REST, or representational state transfer architectural style. of a DI layer should be run in a Kubernetes cloud environment.

This deployment can be useful when the source database network segment cannot be accessed directly from the cloud segment. When such a network constraint is present, the IIDR AS with IIDR KafkaClosed Apache Kafka is a distributed event store and stream-processing platform. Apache Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe messaging system. A message is any kind of information that is sent from a producer (application that sends the messages) to a consumer (application that receives the messages). Producers write their messages or data to Kafka topics. These topics are divided into partitions that function like logs. Each message is written to a partition and has a unique offset, or identifier. Consumers can specify a particular offset point where they can begin to read messages. Agent can be installed on a local Linux server that is located on-prem and resides in a network segment that has access to the database server network.

Deployment Model Prerequisites

  1. VPN is configured between the on-prem deployment and AWS Kubernetes segment

  2. IIDR Source Database Agent software can be installed and configured on the source database server

  3. There is a bi-directional working network communication between the IIDR components and DI components in AWS

 

Option 3: IIDR with Remote Source Database Engine

This deployment model can be useful when the IIDR agent is not allowed to be installed on a source database server. In this case the IIDR remote agent can be used in order to connect to the source database.

IIDR source database remote agent is supported for:

  1. Db2 zos database as a source

  2. Oracle database as a source

IIDR remote agent can not be used with:

  1. Db2 AS-400 database as a source

  2. MSSQL database as a source

Oracle database log files (redo logs) should be physically accessible by the IIDR remote agent,  This is achieved by ensuring the Oracle redo logs and archive files are located on a shared NFS location that can be accessed from the server where the IIDR Oracle agent is running,
