Complex Optim Catalogs in The Way

You have SQL Server, Oracle, or Db2 catalogs indexing Optim archives. Manually rebuilding them for Azure is expensive and risky.

Specialized Legacy Data Types

EBCDIC files, legacy datetime formats, and other mainframe Data types must be preserved. A generic migration tool will fail here.

Regulatory WORM Storage Required

Healthcare and logistics regulations demand immutable Storage for archived records. Azure Blob can deliver WORM, but only if configured correctly.

IBM InfoSphere Optim → Azure Blob Storage migration — your questions answered

How do you handle my existing Optim index catalogs in SQL Server or Oracle?+

Our proprietary utilities read IBM Optim index catalogs (SQL Server, Oracle, Db2) and convert them directly into Azure Synapse catalogs. No manual rebuilds.

Can you migrate specialized legacy Data types like EBCDIC?+

Yes. We decode EBCDIC, legacy datetime types, and other IBM mainframe formats into Azure Blob Storage objects. Data integrity is verified.

Does Azure Blob Storage support WORM for regulatory requirements?+

Yes. We implement immutable Blob Storage layers (WORM) to meet your regulatory retention and compliance needs.

What is the typical timeline and budget for this migration?+

Typically 4-8 months with 2-3 senior engineers. Budget ranges from $90,000 to $480,000 depending on archive volume and catalog complexity.
