CatalThe one-stop shop for business andtechnical metadata

• Enterprise-class collaboration

platform for creating, monitoring, and

reviewing business-critical metadata

• Anywhere access that aligns

business and IT so that any project

can be supported by governed,

trusted data

• Convergence of two market-leadingmetadata capabilities:

- business glossary - business focusedmetadata for terms, policies, rules

metadata workbench - IT focused

metadata for technical assets, lineage,

impact analysis

Master Data Sort CompressSelf-service Cloud Reach

• Helps enterprises who are shifting operations and analytics into the cloud, to provide data to these environments and to collocate theDI platformwith them

• For large data sets, reduces I/O size for temp files thus improving run time -benefits both explicit sorts and those that are inserted inspecific operators

• Allows any user to get or share data in or out of the data lake through a simple browser based UI leveraging the scalable DIengine & rich metadata

• Speed-up time to integrate data into your MDMsolution through MDM model exploration and simple drag-and-drop integration from and to any other data source

onData Click…self-service data

• Where data sizes are

larger than allowed

memory, work space

I/O is reduced

• Provides a tremendous

performance lift – up

to 31% in lab testing

• Benefit for explicit andimplicit sorts

onOther data integration additions in v11.3 Data

Integrati

• Native Greenplum Connectivity: use the new Greenplum connector

stages to read from and bulk load data to Greenplum databases, and

import metadata via IMAM

• Engine Performance Improvements

• Standard performance tests showed marked improvement over

v9.1.2 (test run on Linux)

• CPU intensive workload … 10% performance gain

• IO intensive workload … 20% performance gain
