BLU Acceleration changes the game
Born from new advances in data processing from IBM Research, IBM® DB2® with BLU Acceleration is a leap forward in database technology that raises the bar for performance and value. BLU Acceleration uses patented technologies to deliver a unique combination of performance, ease of use and cost-efficiency.
Considerations for maximising analytic performance
Philip Howard of Bloor Research compares performance capabilities of the leading BI platforms. Companies studied in this comparison are IBM (Cognos, DB2 with BLU Acceleration), SAP (BusinessObjects, HANA), Oracle (Business Intelligence, Exadata) and Microsoft (Business Intelligence, SQL Server). His conclusion? "DB2 with BLU Acceleration should not only provide better performance in the first place but also provide consistent performance, with a corresponding requirement for less hardware and less cost.
Creating a Sustainable, Easy to Maintain BI Environment
Business Intelligence (BI) has become a mandatory part of every enterprise’s decision-making fabric. Unfortunately, with this rise in popularity, came a significant and disturbing complexity. Many BI environments began to have a myriad of moving parts with each requiring significant effort to ensure performance and support for the various needs and skill sets of the business resources using the environment. These convoluted systems became hard to manage or enhance with new requirements. To remain viable and sustainable, they must be simplified. This paper covers what is needed to simplify BI environments and the technologies that support this simplification.
