IBM unveiled new Informix database software designed to help clients cut costs and respond quickly to market trends. The new version of IBM Informix software helps clients and partners speed the deployment of critical business solutions at lower cost while boosting performance by as much as 50%.
New performance capabilities in IBM's Informix software make it easier and faster to power business analytics along with transactional applications – boosting performance by as much as 50%. Higher performance means clients need fewer servers, and less space, power, and cooling resources. To handle the ever growing volume of data, the new software also includes innovative time series data management and data compression – minimizing storage space by as much as 66% compared to competitive solutions.
IBM is also introducing the new IBM Informix Flexible Grid that gives clients the flexibility to scale data management across regional or global clusters while mixing different hardware and operating systems. Previously, distributed clusters required maintaining consistent hardware and software levels. The new Informix capability reduces cost of operations for businesses.
The Informix Flexible Grid keeps data available to applications at all times, even during planned maintenance and upgrades, without the need for temporary hardware. This easy-to-deploy and manage innovation lowers operating costs by reducing the need for new hardware, and reducing administration time up to 80%.
Clients and partners are already benefitting from the new capabilities of the new Informix software across a wide range of industries including retail, manufacturing, and energy.
"The performance of IBM's new Informix database software is outstanding. Queries are running five times faster compared to the other database we were using," said Hal Maner, CTO at M Systems International Inc. "The enhanced self-optimization capabilities let us easily identify the source of any performance degradation without involving the applications or database teams. This reduces the time it takes to troubleshoot an issue by more than 60%. And since storage provisioning is automatic, we no longer have to manually provide extra space for users, which saves us an additional 5% in administration costs with each occurrence."
