Strategic Differentiation – Informix TimeSeries
� WHO– IBM– AMT-SYBEX (IBM Business Partner; provider of
solutions for Energy & Utility companies
� WHAT– Joint benchmark test of AMT-SYBEX’s MDM
solution (Affinity MeterFlow) using IBM Informix TimeSeries software to manage smart meter data
– Tests conducted using a single IBM POWER7®system, utilizing 16 cores.
� WHEN and WHERE– Performed at the IBM Power Systems Benchmark
Center; Montpellier, France– August 2011
A New Meter Data Management (MDM) Performance Benchm ark

Information Management
MDM Benchmark Demonstrates Business Value
� Faster processing of meter data means faster business processes that use that data
– Achieved daily billing calculations of 21,000 bills per minute while concurrently running the data load
� Significant reduction in storage requirements– Total storage required for one month of interval and
register data for 100 million meters was less than 4TB– Average throughput exceeded 420,000 records per
second in meter data load using standard storage disks
� Consistent, scalable performance yields highly predictable costs
– Daily end-to-end processing times remained constant for 100 million meters over a 31-day period, irrespective of the amount of data stored –Storage requirements remained linear over time

Information Management
Informix TimeSeries – Success with leading MDM providers
. “We feel that the Informix TimeSeries technology lends itself extremely well to the performance characteristics, data types and high-volume processing required for the next generation of smart metering and smart grid applications.”- David Hubbard, CTO and co-founder of Ecologic Analytics
MDM offers scalability to 100 million smart meters
“Performance testing results of AMT-SYBEX’s Affinity Meterflowmeter data management (MDM) application using IBM Informix TimeSeries software has demonstrated the capability to offer linear scalability up to 100 million meters to load and process meter data at 30-minute intervals in less than 8 hours.”

SugarCRM
SugarCRM has quickly grown to become one of the most widely used CRM platforms on the market.
� Informix port delivers unlimited database scalability for popular SaaS applications.
� Delivers enhanced ability to create and manage large SugarCRM databases without impacting performance even for extremely large systems.
� Using SugarCRM on Informix also simplified and sped up the data upload process. Tests showed that large amounts of records can be uploaded in minutes, as opposed to hours they experienced with competitor database.
States John Baker, Managing Director of Oninit Group: “After several months of development in partnership with systems integrator i2Global, we are delighted to see SugarCRM running efficiently on Informix. With the demand for SaaS increasing, it made business sense to demonstrate Informix’s perfect suitability for the job. Delivering SugarCRM on Informix shows that it can easily power a major SaaS application. It offers unlimited growth, outstanding performance and is the ideal platform for creating and managing heavily populated databases.”

How do I compress a table?Using OAT

Information Management
Index Compression� Up to now, Informix only offered data, i.e. table compression
� Primary goal for Index Compression:–Scans require less I/O–More data fits into buffer cache
Syntax:
create compressed index …
|--+-DISTINCT-+ ‘CLUSTER-’ ‘COMPRESSED-’
11/16/2012 Put your data on a diet – C01 56
• Compression only for leaf index nodes
• No Row ID (RID) compression
• Index entry is uncompressed (in memory) for comparison
• Dictionary based compression (same as table compression) to favor key only scans found in most OLTP applications

Automatic Compression – OAT Interface
11/16/2012 Template Presentation - Session Z99 57

Information Management
Automatic (Table) Compression� Compression of data partitions (no index/blob compression)
� Compress data rows as they are loaded
� When a load exceeds a threshold (2000 rows as default), the compression process starts (by building a dictionary)
� All subsequent rows inserted will be compressed
Considerations:
� Supports all loaders that use Inserts or Light Append
� Light append – once dictionary is created, all rows will be compressed (including old ones)
� Normal Insert – compresses all subsequent rows after dictionary is created
Syntax: CREATE TABLE …. COMPRESSED
