When physical information integration is not an option or requirement, or when you need to supplement real-time data with historical data, you need virtual integration. IBM® InfoSphere® Federation Server provides virtualized integration of heterogeneous data sources, enabling applications to access and integrate diverse data and content sources as if they were a single resource—regardless of where the information resides—while retaining the autonomy and integrity of the data and content sources.
In essence, InfoSphere Federation Server enables you to access data anywhere in your enterprise regardless of its format and vendor, without creating new databases and without disruptive changes to existing ones using standard SQL and any tool that supports Java™ Database Connectivity/Open Database Connectivity (JDBC/ODBC).
