About IRI NextForm
IRI NextForm converts and replicates database data and schema, and modernizes file formats and layouts so they can be used in new applications. NextForm also creates federated views to speed insights.
NextForm also gives you the opportunity to cull data as you move it, optimizing I/O and reducing storage. Slash 75% off design and run time with point-and-click field mapping that help you control your data with ease.
NextForm is one of several data management products front-ended in a free Eclipse IDE, and another metadata-compatible spinoff from the SortCL program in IRI CoSort,
NextForm comes in several editions, including a FREE Lite version for converting field data types, record layouts, and many flat-file formats, and for creating basic reports from flat files.

StorCentric Data Mobility Suite
StorCentric Data Mobility Suite (DMS), an all-inclusive software solution, empowers organizations to seamlessly move data where it needs to be. DMS is a cloud-enabled solution that supports data migration, data replication, and data synchronization across mixed environments including disk, tape, and cloud to maximize ROI by eliminating data silos. DMS supports vendor-agnostic file replications and synchronization and is easily deployed and managed on a non-proprietary server. DMS can transfer millions of files simultaneously and protects data in transit to and from the cloud with SSL encryption. DMS streamlines point-to-point data movement and tackles data flow requirements from any storage platform to another. Fine-grained filtering and continuous incremental updates alleviate the challenges of moving and consolidating data across heterogeneous environments. DMS enables files to be synchronized across multiple storage repositories, including disk and tape.
