What is IBM Optim?

IBM Optim (now part of the broader InfoSphere Information Server) is a suite of data management products focused on data archiving, data masking, test data management, and data privacy. It's commonly used by organizations to reduce the costs and risks associated with managing large volumes of data, improve application performance, and comply with data privacy regulations. Optim helps to archive historical data, create realistic test environments with masked data, and manage data retention policies.
