IBM Informix

IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) provides blazing online transaction processing (OLTP) performance, legendary reliability, and nearly hands-free administration to businesses of all sizes. IDS offers significant improvements in availability, manageability, security and performance.
Highlights:

    • Solid, secure and reliable support for on demand environments.
    • Enhanced performance, availability, and database administrator and programmer productivity.
    • Reduced deployment and management costs. Customize the data server footprint with the Deployment Wizard and the SQL API and scheduler which make it easier to automate maintenance activities.
    • The GUI-based OpenAdmin Tool for IDS provides a global view of remote servers, with flexible analysis and drill-down to the query level.
    • High security for compliance with government regulations.
    • Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) - Many typical database administrator operations are self-managed by the IDS database, making it nearly hands-free. Administration activities can also be controlled within an application via the SQL API. Typically, IDS customers report using one-third or less of the staff needed to manage competitors' products.
    • Shortened development cycles due to rapid deployment capabilities and choice of application development environments and languages.
    • Flexible choices for business continuity with replication choices and the Continuous Availability Feature for shared disk cluster solutions, consequently eliminating the reliance on a "one-size-fits-all" solution.
    • Continuous availability with HDR, RSS, etc.
