LAS VEGAS, Oct. 25, 2016
/PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today introduced significant
advances in its industry leading database software, IBM DB2,
helping companies lower their operating costs while bringing
together transactions and analytics in the same database to
increase the speed of real-time data analysis. The new DB2 will
incorporate hybrid transactional analytical processing (HTAP)
available for Linux, Unix, Windows, and z/OS in December.
In contrast to typical business environments where transaction
processing and analytical systems are based on distinct
architectures, hybrid transactional analytical processing (HTAP)
runs analytics and transactions on the same database without
compromising performance of either.
IBM DB2 BLU Acceleration for Linux, Unix, Windows will
incorporate features of HTAP in December by enabling up to 2x
faster insert performance for transactional processing in
analytical databases. Up to 60% reduction in query elapsed time
will deliver real-time data analysis for applications like fraud
detection and point of sale marketing actions.
IBM DB2 12 for z/OS extends the benefits of HTAP with advanced
in-memory capabilities to deliver improvements in real-time
analytic processing by up to 100 times over DB2 11 for z/OS.
IBM is also introducing the DB2 Analytics Accelerator for Cloud,
providing enterprise customers even more flexibility to accelerate
insights gained from their DB2 environments leveraging the IBM
Cloud.
"IBM DB2 12 is at the leading edge in allowing us to build
mobile applications faster and more securely. We are able to better
provide our customers with services they need to access the data
stored in their databases," says Frank
Peterson, Chief Architect at Bankdata.
"IBM is enabling our clients to unlock more value from their
data, by delivering real-time insights at the point of customer
interaction," said Rob Thomas, Vice
President of Product Development, IBM Analytics. "Customers can now
extend their existing investments to capitalize on the capabilities
that HTAP provides."
Client feedback was critical in the development of DB2 12, with
IBM taking an agile approach and continuous delivery model. DB2 12
for z/OS was built for the growth of cloud and mobile, supporting
hundreds of thousands of transactions per second across mobile
applications with no impact on operational performance. This
enables companies to deliver a better, faster, personalized
experience to consumer mobile applications.
