Don’t be forced to migrate with Informatica PowerCenter  

Did you know Informatica will end general support for PowerCenter 10.5 in 2026? The plan to migrate customers to Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) may disrupt your pipelines and force you to a cloud-based ETL tool that doesn’t meet your needs. 

Migration to the cloud isn’t your only option 

With a migration deadline looming, you might find yourself navigating complex changes that could disrupt your business operations. The drawn-out IDMC implementation, with possible performance and compliance risks to your architecture, isn’t the only PowerCenter alternative. 

Choose the right ETL/ELT solution – without the risk

Built to easily move data between cloud data warehouses and on-prem systems, CData Sync ensures secure, automated, and high-performance data replication across your architecture. Recognized in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, Sync is trusted globally for critical data movement. 

  • Ditch the IPUs for economical, fixed-cost pricing: You don’t have to transition to Informatica Pricing Units (IPUs) and a usage-based cloud pricing model. Sync provides unlimited replication volume at an economical cost.

  • Deploy anywhere, any way: Sync can be self-hosted on-prem or in the cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP). This provides greater flexibility compared to IDMC’s agent-based hybrid deployment, so you can meet all your security, compliance, and performance needs. 

  • Easy data transformations: Sync simplifies in-flight transformations with a no-code, point-and-click interface. Unlike IDMC’s complex, manual setup, Sync lets you quickly apply transformations like PII masking and data augmentation, enabling faster delivery of data for ML and AI models. 

  • High performance and low latency: Sync supports real-time, low-latency data transfer with Change Data Capture (CDC) and automatic schema mapping, ensuring fast, scalable processing. With its focus on resource-intensive batch processing, IDMC can encounter latency issues, with potential delays in hybrid architectures.

  • Connect to more of your data: With only ~100 connectors, IDMC can leave some of your data siloed. Sync has 350+ connectors — from legacy systems and on-premises databases to modern cloud applications — to ensure all data can be connected. 

If Informatica’s forced migration of PowerCenter has you rethinking your data replication strategy, get a 5-minute tour of CData Sync.

"I can sleep again, knowing that the replication is working. If I stopped CData Sync today, I’d get flooded with calls from my teams in the next 20 minutes. The near-real-time data we get with Sync has transformed how we work in a big way."
