About IRI CoSort
What is CoSort?
IRI CoSort® is a fast, affordable, and easy-to-use sort/merge/report utility, and a full-featured data transformation and preparation package. The world's first sort product off the mainframe, CoSort continues to deliver maximum price-performance and functional versatility for the manipulation and blending of big data sources. CoSort also powers the IRI Voracity data management platform and many third-party tools.
What does CoSort do?
CoSort runs multi-threaded sort/merge jobs AND many other high-volume (big data) manipulations separately, or in combination. It can also cleanse, mask, convert, and report at the same time. Self-documenting 4GL scripts supported in Eclipse™ help you speed or leave legacy: sort, ETL and BI tools; COBOL and SQL programs, plus Hadoop, Perl, Python, and other batch jobs.
Use CoSort to sort, join, aggregate, and load 2-20X faster than data wrangling and BI tools, 10x faster than SQL transforms, and 6x faster than most ETL tools.

IRI Fast Extract (FACT)
IRI FACT™ (Fast Extract) rapidly unloads large tables to external files using DB-native APIs, SQL SELECT syntax, and a choice of split (parallel) query methods.
Unlike other database unload methods (e.g., Oracle data pump), FACT creates portable flat files. Your 'dump-table-to-file' data is thus quickly available for any purpose, including: reorgs, transforms, pre-load sorting, migrations, change and summary reporting, ETL, replication, testing, and protection.
If you also use the IRI Voracity platform or IRI CoSort product, you can use their core SortCL program to perform or accelerate all these post-extraction steps at once. But you do not have to use SortCL; i.e., once the data are in flat files, you can do anything you want with them.
FACT's extract performance is second to none. Using superior connection protocols, parallel hints and queries, and a variety of other proprietary techniques, FACT's unload rate is much faster than database spool or export functions.
