InfoSphere Optim

Managing data properly throughout its lifetime is crucial for organizations to achieve their business goals while minimizing risk. The IBM InfoSphere Optim Archive family of tools is designed to aid this effort by handling older data in active applications and retaining data in retired applications for legal, regulatory, or analytical purposes. With the help of these tools, organizations can ensure their data is properly managed, allowing them to make informed decisions and stay compliant with industry regulations. The latest addition to this family of products is the IBM InfoSphere Optim Archive Viewer 11.7, a powerful and intuitive solution for accessing and analyzing archived data.

IBM has announced the launch of IBM Optim Archive Viewer as a replacement for Open Data Manager in December 2022. Optim Archive Viewer allows users to access data from Optim Archive Files via open (JDBC/ODBC) technologies. It provides automation to unload the data from the proprietary Archive File format to highly compressed open data files and then provides high-performance access with no performance tuning necessary. Clients who previously used Open Data Manager should strongly consider using the new Optim Archive Viewer as IBM has withdrawn support for Open Data Manager.

We would love to the opportunity to share how Archive Viewer can enable you to scale your AI workloads by extracting insights from your Optim Archive data. Please reach out to your IBM Sales Representative for more information.
