Thank you to all of the customers, colleagues, and IBMers who joined The Fillmore Group on April 11, 2013 at Cinghiale in Baltimore, USA to discuss IBM’s Data Strategy – which we call “DB2 101”. As it happens, many DB2 customers don’t realize the strength and depth of the IBM Information Management portfolio. And many non-DB2 customers don’t know about the governance and management tooling available in InfoSphere and Optim (e.g. Guardium) which IBM provides for Oracle, SQL Server, Teradata, and other-vendor database servers.
Prominently featured were the highlights of IBM’s April 3rd announcement held at Almaden Lab which my colleague, Kim May, and I attended.
- PureData System for Hadoop
- DB2 for LUW V10.5 with BLU Acceleration
Also of note is the bundling of functionality in DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition (AESE).
- pureScale – shared-disk clustering
- Data Partitioning Feature (DPF) – shared-nothing hash partitioning
- DB2 for LUW v10.5 columnar compression database
The presentation is available at DB2 101 – IBM Information Management Software Portfolio Overview 2013-04 The audio-video recorded delivery can be viewed here.
