IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3
InfoSphere MDM technologies
The InfoSphere® MDM portfolio
includes distinct technologies.
Comparison of virtual, physical, and hybrid MDM capabilities
The technical capabilities of virtual, physical, and hybrid
MDM help you to manage your master data, whether you store that data
in a distributed fashion, in a centralized repository, or in a combination
of both.
Virtual MDM
The technical capabilities of virtual MDM assemble a virtual
view of master data from existing systems, delivering tailored views
whenever and wherever they are needed.
Physical MDM
The technical capabilities of physical MDM include a physical
master repository that delivers a single version of truth of an organization’s
critical data entries. Examples of data entries are customer, product,
and supplier.
Hybrid MDM
Hybrid MDM combines the technical capabilities of virtual
MDM and physical MDM.
InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server
With InfoSphere MDM
Collaboration Server (Collaborative
Edition), companies can create a single, up-to-date repository of
product information. That repository then can be used throughout the
organization for strategic initiatives.
