Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with DB2, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.
Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData DB2 driver offers full-featured DB2 data connectivity. The CData DB2 drivers support extensive DB2 integration, providing access to all of the DB2 data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all DB2 data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.
