The Next Generation Database and X6


What does the next generation of database look like?

ü  The most advanced in-memory technology on the market today

ü  Hybrid columnar & row based

ü  Super fast for transactional and analytic workloads

ü  Leading NOSQL and SQL capabilities

ü  Highly available, highly reliable, highly resilient, and simplified with advanced workload capability


DB2 with BLU Acceleration Change the game for in-memory

§  In-memory columnar processing

§  Dynamic memory technology

§  Data skipping §  Parallel vector processing

§  No need for indexes or tuning

§  Create, load and go §  Modular, flexible

system design

§  Clients reporting 10x compression3

§  Compressed data remains actionable

§  Very high compute and storage density

§  Lowest TCA through efficient configurations

§  Lower license costs with terabyte pricing

§  Upgrade with lower cost, no overhead

1Client-reported testing results in DB2 10.5 early release program. Individual results will vary depending on individual workloads, configurations and conditions, including table size and content.

Current System x clients are seeing remarkable results with BLU Acceleration

“Our query process that used to take 7 minutes can now be run in 20 seconds, an improvement of 21X. One of the great benefits of BLU Acceleration is that this great query performance came without any tuning!” - Shohei Kato, Engineer

And… OVER 1000 customers entitled to the power of BLU Acceleration !!!!!!!
