Many of our readers may have spoken with DAMA-conference exhibitors Data Mirror at the last two DAMA conferences. This week IBM and Data Mirror have announced a pending purchase by IBM:

IBM announced today that it plans to buy real-time data integration software vendor DataMirror Corp. to support its information on demand strategy -- and quickly had to refute analyst concerns about potential product overlaps.

The Markham, Canada-based software maker will enhance IBM's existing portfolio with a "change data capture" product that offers the ability to continuously monitor heterogeneous systems, sense changes, capture changed data and deliver that information in near real-time to other applications. This functionality helps organizations speed decision-making and enhance business processes, explained Paraic Sweeney, vice president, product management with IBM.
