Case Study: Getinge Group achieves real-time analytics without impacting transaction response times with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Share

Getinge Group - Customer Case Study

Getinge North America, a leading supplier of equipment and services for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of medical instruments, needed to let employees run heavy reporting and analytics without degrading transaction response times on its IBM i/Power Systems platform. Analytics and reporting workloads were straining disk I/O and CPU, and Getinge preferred to perform queries on Windows/SQL Server rather than on the production DB2 system.

Getinge implemented Double-Take Share to replicate selected tables — and in many cases only certain columns or rows — from DB2 on IBM i to Microsoft SQL Server on Windows in near real time. The solution lets analysts run extensive, up-to-date queries and build secondary applications without impacting production performance, requires virtually no daily management, and has become a high-value, mission-critical part of Getinge’s data strategy.
