Qlik Replicate is an advanced data replication solution that provides efficient data ingestion from a wide range of sources and platforms, ensuring smooth integration with key big data analytics tools. It offers both bulk replication and real-time incremental replication through change data capture (CDC) technology. Featuring a unique zero-footprint architecture, it minimizes unnecessary strain on critical systems while enabling seamless data migrations and database upgrades without downtime. This replication capability allows for the transfer or consolidation of data from a production database to an updated version, a different computing environment, or an alternative database management system, such as migrating data from SQL Server to Oracle. Additionally, data replication is effective for relieving production databases by transferring data to operational data stores or data warehouses, facilitating improved reporting and analytics. By harnessing these capabilities, organizations can enhance their data management strategy, ensuring better performance and reliability across their systems.
