Welcome to
PowerMart and PowerCenter, Informatica’s integrated suite of software products
that deliver an open, scalable solution addressing the complete life cycle for
data warehouse and analytic application development. Both PowerMart and PowerCenter
combine the latest technology enhancements for reliably managing data
repositories and delivering information resources in a timely, usable manner.
The metadata
repository coordinates and drives a variety of core functions including
extraction, transformation, loading, and management. The Informatica Server can
extract large volumes of data from multiple platforms, handle complex
transformations, and support high-speed loads. PowerMart and PowerCenter can
simplify and accelerate the process of moving data warehouses from development
to test to full production.
Software features
that differ between the PowerMart and PowerCenter:
If You Are Using PowerCenter
With PowerCenter,
you receive all product functionality, including the ability to register
multiple servers, share metadata across repositories, and partition data.
A PowerCenter
license lets you create a single repository that you can configure as a global
repository, the core component of a data warehouse.

This version of
PowerMart includes all features except distributed metadata, multiple
registered servers, and data partitioning. Also, the various options available
with PowerCenter (such as PowerCenter Integration Server for BW, PowerConnect

PowerConnect for Siebel, and PowerConnect for PeopleSoft) are not available
with PowerMart.
