In today’s digital transformation journey, keeping data “fresh” no longer relies on traditional cold chain technology—it depends on advanced real-time data synchronization. Much like the ancient express of delivering fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang’an, modern enterprises need efficient synchronization technologies to ensure timely and seamless data flow.
One of the key technologies enabling this is i2Stream from Info2soft. By capturing changes from source databases in real time and combining them with stream processing capabilities, i2Stream enables millisecond-level real-time synchronization across both homogeneous and heterogeneous databases. It breaks down data silos while ensuring data consistency and integrity. Key application scenarios include:
1. Active-Active Databases: Ensuring Uninterrupted Business Operations
i2Stream supports both full and incremental synchronization in high-concurrency environments, maintaining real-time consistency between source and target databases. This provides a strong technical foundation for building active-active data centers. Even if a database fails or experiences load fluctuations, i2Stream ensures continuous business operations and high availability.
2. One-Click Failover in Seconds: Business Continuity Guaranteed
With i2Stream, enterprises can build a two-location, three-center disaster recovery architecture that supports real-time synchronization and remote backup of critical business data. In the event of a regional disaster, the system can switch to a backup center within seconds—ensuring business continuity in sectors like finance and healthcare.
3. Heterogeneous Database Migration: Powering Localization and Innovation Upgrades
i2Stream enables seamless migration across different operating systems and database platforms. Whether it’s from SAP to Kafka, or Oracle to domestic databases, i2Stream ensures consistency and completeness during the migration process, reducing downtime and enabling smooth transitions.
4. Real-Time Big Data Analytics: Informed Decision-Making
In the era of big data, real-time synchronization empowers smarter, faster decisions. By synchronizing data sources to cloud-based data warehouses, i2Stream helps enterprises analyze market information in real time and gain a competitive edge.
5. Multi-Node Data Aggregation: Unified Data Management
i2Stream supports integration and synchronization across multiple nodes—be it on-premises data centers or cloud platforms. It allows centralized management of distributed data, enabling more efficient and unified data management strategies.
Real-World Success Stories
Gas & Energy Enterprise: SAP HANA to Kafka Synchronization
A leading gas enterprise once faced a major challenge in synchronizing data between SAP HANA and Kafka. After multiple failed attempts, they turned to i2Stream. The solution enabled efficient incremental data synchronization while minimizing the impact on production systems—ensuring data was both timely and accurate.
Provincial Healthcare Bureau: Real-Time Medical Insurance Data Reporting
A provincial healthcare bureau needed to synchronize and report medical insurance data dispersed across various cities. Using i2Stream, they successfully synchronized Oracle databases to Tencent TDSQL, enabling real-time data visualization while maintaining data consistency and integrity.
In the fast-evolving digital landscape, data is no longer just a support asset—it’s become a core component of enterprise competitiveness. i2Stream enables real-time synchronization and seamless data flow, helping businesses capture their most valuable asset: fresh data. Whether in manufacturing, finance, or big data analytics, i2Stream provides powerful technical support that helps organizations move faster and more securely in a rapidly changing market.
Thanks to sustained investment in R&D, i2Stream has recently undergone a major upgrade. The new version features a unified, modular architecture with standardized protocols, a unified data loading framework, and consolidated synchronization rules.
Stay tuned as we continue to unlock more powerful features in future releases of i2Stream!
