We're excited to announce powerful new capabilities that make Data Gate more flexible and secure than ever.

Data Gate Classic

  • Power Up with Remote Db2 Connect seamlessly to remote Db2 databases running on Power systems (PPC64LE architecture). This gives you additional infrastructure options and greater flexibility in how you architect your data environment.

  • Enterprise-Grade Security Strengthen your data connections with SSL encryption backed by third-party certificate authorities. Data Gate now supports externally signed certificates for Db2 and Db2 Warehouse connections, giving you the security standards your enterprise demands.

Data Gate for watsonx

  • Work Smarter with Schema Flexibility Reuse schema names across multiple Iceberg catalogs—a simple change that streamlines your workflow and reduces naming conflicts.

  • Enhanced Format Support VSAM/IMS sources now work seamlessly with the Iceberg data layout, making your legacy data more accessible in modern environments.

  • Simplified AWS Authentication Connect to VSAM/IMS sources using AWS AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity authentication for smoother cloud integration.

  • Licensing Made Easy Choose from new license bundles right within the provisioning workflow—getting started is now more straightforward.

  • Unlock Primary Key Support for Iceberg Define primary keys in Apache Iceberg table format for Db2 for z/OS data sources, enabling richer metadata for computational engines that support Iceberg.
