The IBM Websphere Information Integrator solution includes the combined resources of Websphere Information Integrator
software and IBM Life Science Services. Built on IBM DB2 Universal Database™
technology, Websphere Information Integrator components can include:
- DB2 database software—features integrated in-memory text search capabilities,
integration of internal and external data sources and applications, and migration
of information to the Web.
- IBM DB2 Information Integrator™—a robust, user-friendly middleware
technology that provides integrated, real-time access to diverse data as if it
were a single database, regardless of where it resides. Enhances DiscoveryLink
with an expanded selection of wrappers. Some examples include:
- Entrez—direct and fast access to key Pubmed, Nucleotide and Genbank
data sources
- Blast—more power for gene and protein similarity searches
- HMMER—an SQL-based front end to the HMMER application
- XML—SQL-based access to XML-based data sources
- BioRS—access to a broad array of public bioinformatics data sources
- ODBC—access to additional relational data sources
- Extended search—integrates information from unstructured data sources
- Teradata—accesses information residing in a teradata data warehouse
- DB2 control center—fast configuration of any data source within

| Proven technology
|
Scientists at Aventis needed access to Oracle-based cheminformatics data scattered across multiple global research sites. IBM Websphere Information Integrator was chosen to provide global integrated access to databases in four Aventis locations.
The solution:
- Provides single-query access to data residing in multiple heterogeneous data sources, both locally and remotely.
- Permits queries across several data sources and optimizes performance, reducing the time needed to get back results difficult or impossible to obtain in a conventional way.
- Eliminates many database currency and synchronization issues—Websphere Information Integrator queries the original distributed data sources without modifying or copying the data.
