IBM Db2: The AI Database

Today’s businesses run on data and the leaders that drive them must embrace forward-looking data science and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to retain competitive differentiation. They must also reliably support increasingly complex business operations without downtime. Supporting these disparate needs once required a myriad of data platforms, but that is no longer the case.

With version 11.5, IBM Db2® is extending its legacy of dependability by adding AI functionality designed to help optimize performance and support data scientists’ mission to find deeper insights. It is both powered by and built for AI

Can AIOps Reduce The Noise?

If you’re part of an IT Ops or NOC team, or if you manage one, you know that overwhelming IT noise is your #1 enemy. Flooded with false positives overwhelming IT noise means that IT Ops and NOC teams are flooded with false positives on an everyday basis. The problem gets significantly worse when outages and disruptions cause alert storms or alert floods and NOC techs and engineers can't isolate root cause.

DBAs Face New Challenges: Trend in Database Administration

To gain insight into the evolving challenges for DBAs, Quest commissioned Unisphere Research to survey DBAs and those responsible for the management of the corporate data management infrastructure. The results are in and the thought-provoking findings are now available.

Among the key findings are:

Structured data under management continues to grow at a substantial rate, requiring DBAs to manage both more database instances and a wider variety of relational database management systems.
Cloud technology plays a significant role in hosting databases and that role will continue to grow. Cloud approaches will have the greatest impact on database administration over the next three years.
NoSQL platforms represent a smaller but important slice of the data management infrastructure.
Database management tools have reduced the time some DBAs must invest in some routine operations, allowing them to expand their roles in other areas. Database performance continues to be the top priority for DBAs.
Many DBAs are increasingly involved in application development.

Accelerate Database Efficiency with SQL Performance Investigator (PI)

Get a wealth of information at a fraction of the impact of conventional collection methods. Foglight’s SQL Performance Investigator (SQL PI) ensures optimal database performance with comprehensive database, storage and virtualization monitoring, along with advanced workload analytics. It integrates transaction workload investigations with database resource monitoring for a seamless workflow. While database resource monitoring ensures that database components operate within their limits – and alerts database administrators (DBAs) when they’re over-extended – transaction workload analysis measures and analyzes the SQL that connects users to resources, enabling management of database service levels.

The Importance of Continuous Monitoring in a DevOps Pipeline

Organizations today are under tremendous pressure to quickly deploy new software and updates to their production applications in order to cope with intensely competitive markets and the rapidly evolving technology landscape. To meet this challenge, more and more organizations are turning to DevOps, a set of practices that emphasize collaboration and communication between development, operations and other functional areas to enable the building, testing and release of software in a rapid and reliable fashion.
