Installing InfoSphere MDM

InfoSphere® Master Data Management includes a set of editions and components that you can distribute across multiple computers.

For the main InfoSphere MDM product installation, you have two options for installation.
Standard deployment

During a standard deployment, the InfoSphere MDM Standard and Advanced Edition components are installed using IBM® Installation Manager, which ensures a simple and consistent installation experience.

Use standard deployment when you want to have full control over the features and options that are installed. See Installing InfoSphere MDM (standard deployment).

Accelerated deployment (containerized)

During an accelerated deployment, InfoSphere MDM Standard and Advanced Edition components are installed into a containerized environment using Docker images, which ensures a simple and consistent installation experience.

Use accelerated deployment when you need to consistently and quickly deploy a common installation image. See Installing InfoSphere MDM into containers (accelerated deployment).

In addition to installing the main InfoSphere MDM product installation, you can also separately install the following supporting components, depending on your deployment requirements and software license:
  • InfoSphere MDM Application Toolkit
  • IBM Stewardship Center
  • IBM MDM Publisher
  • IBM Match 360 with Watson™ on IBM Cloud Pak for Data
    Note: If you have a cartridge license that entitles you to use the IBM Match 360 with Watson service on Cloud Pak for Data, see IBM Documentation for information about:
