Replicate ServiceNow data in MySQL
in 3 simple steps
Perspectium is an integration-as-a-service solution, meaning we handle the initial implementation and maintenance thereon.
Our expertise with the ServiceNow platform allows us to implement the solution quickly, benefiting time-to-value.
Once installed, users can select which data to replicate by creating rules that dynamically replicate data meeting user-defined conditions in real-time.
Users can also configure bulk data transfers with condition-based filtering or by manually selecting data.
Once configured, Perspectium DataSync will replicate data on-demand, in line with the user's schedule, and dynamically.
Users can monitor the status of data transfers with receipts. Any failed transfers can be easily re-shared and a full activity log is available natively, within the ServiceNow platform.
How DataSync Connects ServiceNow to MySQL
Our smart approach to data replication enables incredibly high-throughput.
With DataSync, users can replicate over 20 million records per day without slowing down ServiceNow.
DataSync is a simple solution that lets users integrate ServiceNow with MySQL. The data replication solution from ServiceNow partners Perspectium, copies ServiceNow data to MySQL environments in-bulk or dynamically.
With a slightly different approach to most other ServiceNow data replication solutions, DataSync can replicate incredibly high volumes of data without slowing down ServiceNow.
It achieves this by using push technology to initiate the transfer of data to a message broker system (MBS). Target solutions then retrieve the data from the MBS.
This means DataSync subverts the need for ETL/ELT and the ServiceNow REST API, which struggle to cope with repeat requests and large data volumes. The end result is a high-throughput ServiceNow data replication solution that can replicate over 20 million records per day.
Why Connect ServiceNow and MySQL?
The Problem
While ServiceNow provides a wide-array of capabilities including reporting, analytics and even artificial intelligence & machine learning. The problem is, such features are limited compared to many purpose-built solutions and ServiceNow makes it difficult to get data out of their platform.
In fact, they arguably have an incentive to make extracting data difficult as they charge users for exceeding contractual storage limits.
The Solution
DataSync allows users to connect ServiceNow to MySQL, and easily replicate data including records, comments, attachments, etc out of the platform.
DataSync supports in-bulk and dynamic data replication for ServiceNow, meaning users can transfer large volumes as a batch transfer and configure settings that automate the transfer of records that meet user defined conditions.
By replicating ServiceNow data within MySQL, organizations have greater control over - and access to - their ServiceNow data. MySQL can then feed a wide array of third-party solutions for use cases including analytics, business intelligence, reporting, AI, ML and more.
Connecting ServiceNow and MySQL provides organizations with greater control of, and access to their ServiceNow data.
DataSync for ServiceNow: Data Replication Features
High-throughput
Replicate +20 million records per day (+1 billion per month) without degrading ServiceNow's performance.
One-to-Many Replication
DataSync supports both one-to-one and one-to-many data replication, enabling organizations to replicate ServiceNow data across multiple platforms simultaneously.
Real-time
Dynamic Share allows users to automatically replicate records that meet user-defined conditions in real-time.
Schema Automation
DataSync automatically configures schemas and transforms data pre-send, to ensure data arrives at the target correctly formatted and in a ready-to-use state.
Dynamic & Bulk
DataSync supports replicating ServiceNow data dynamically and in-bulk, meaning users can automate and schedule the replication of ServiceNow data.
Monitoring
Keep track of pending, successful and unsuccessful record replications and easily re-share any that fail.
Encryption and Obfuscation
DataSync encrypts replicated data in-transit and at-rest, and supports data obfuscation, allowing users to mask sensitive data and improve their ability to comply with data regulations such as GDPR.
ServiceNow-native Implementation
DataSync is installed and configured natively within ServiceNow. This benefits the learning curve as users interact with DataSync via the familiar ServiceNow UI.
