Replication and caching

• Caching– Client side, used with embedding

• Distribution and Aggregration– Geography issues, availability

• Fully integrated– Performance– Feature rich

Summary of info-integration technology initiatives

Convergence of 4 fundamental problems

1. Sharing Data in a distributed heterogonous environment• Technical solution: Federated Database technology

2. Application protocols in a distributed application environment• Technical Solution: Webservices

3. Data protocols • Technical Solution: XML

4. Performance and availability of data access• Technical Solution: Data Replication

Each technical solution has merit in it’s own right, but the combination is really powerful

Autonomic Computing…

Self Managing Databases

• Simplification and automation– Space management, backup/restore, data statistics– Leverage of underlying NAS/SAN technology trends

• Automation• Virtualization• Performance

• Translate policy into implementation– Log rates + Recovery Rates => backup frequency– Avoids unnecessary backups, ensures backups to maintain RTO.

Accounts for dynamic and adapting workloads.– Almost possible today

• Stats needed on log rates (RTS on 390)• Stats needed on recovery rates• Tooling to automate/recommend (CC integration)

IBM Data Management Vision… Informix accelerates it

Informix Vision – IBM Acceleration

• Information Integration– Web Services– XML– Boatload of Websphere middleware– I-Star (kinda) for XPS

• Data Deluge– Backport of Informix Arrowhead technology into IDS

• Buffer manager• Large Chunks• HA Fast Restart• Other stuff…

– Breathing life back into HDR• SMART & Tooling

– Automation of backup, runstats?– Admin tools?

• Misc– Unicode Libraries

Informix technology

• Strategy: Leverage as much of the entire IBM Technical Team as possible

– Research– Storage & Server group– DB2

• Tactical: Steal, beg, borrow as much as we can– Across IDS and XPS– Across DB2

• Develop new technology as a combined team– Architecture board insures consistency– Research insures proper investigation

• Some things can’t easily be leveraged so….– Make it as easy as possible to transition to DB2 when and if desired

• Application portability• Operational consistency

Conclusion

• Data Management Architecture is very healthy at IBM– Informix technologists very engaged– Strong Leverage of technology, skills, experiences– More than just the DBMS Server

• Single overall strategy, minimizing walls between individual products– Leverage points already being realized in individual products, much more

to come

• Informix products will leverage IBM technology– Application Development (J2EE, MQ, etc)– Operational consistency (SMART, Management and tooling frameworks)

• Informix products continue developing features for it’s customer base
