ARMONK, N.Y., June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announced a new version of its industry leading database
software, IBM DB2 V11.1 to help developers easily bridge on-premise
applications to the cloud and enable a hybrid data
architecture.
DB2 V11.1 is powerful multi-workload database software that
powers the next generation of applications including mobile,
advanced analytics, cognitive and highly available transactions.
IBM DB2 offers a security-rich environment required for the hybrid
world, designed to protect data both in flight and at rest. It also
scales to new heights of performance by enabling its in-memory
technology to be easily deployed across a massively parallel
processing architecture and helping to dramatically improve
response times.
"We rely on IBM DB2 to power our always-on enterprise
applications, ensuring fast order fulfillment and rapid insight
into business performance," said Jürgen Laudien, European
Infrastructure Manager, Yazaki Europe Ltg, a global automotive
parts supplier. "We're excited about having the ability to handle
petabytes of data with the latest version of DB2, which also
positions us to easily move some workloads to the cloud. Whether we
want the benefits of a hybrid cloud or a private cloud, DB2 and DB2
on Cloud will give us that flexibility. We're also pleased to know
that we have another option to get the benefits of DB2 as a fully
managed service using dashDB for Transactions."
Leveraging common features, accessibility, security and tooling
provides a consistent experience so consumers receive the fast and
reliable data they expect, regardless of deployment option.
Therefore, IBM DB2 helps ensure that moving or extending
applications to the cloud won't disrupt business.
IBM DB2 makes data simple so developers can focus on:
- Building new apps that manage "born in the cloud" data
- Moving data workloads from data centers to the cloud
- Delivering Short-term
database projects
- Creating off-premises disaster recovery fail-safes
- Pushing data to data centers across the globe to facilitate
geographic reach and regulatory compliance
Additionally, IBM DB2 is SQL-compatible with Oracle Database,
making it easy to leverage existing skills to move applications
from Oracle to DB2, whether on premises or in the cloud, with
minimal-to-no application changes.
"In today's world, clients need to leverage a truly hybrid data
infrastructure that reduces the boundaries of where they can build
and deploy efficient, resilient and highly scalable applications,"
said Rob Thomas, vice president of
development, IBM Analytics. "DB2 is the best choice for mission
critical, multi-workload applications, regardless of where you
deploy them, on premise or in the cloud. This agility helps
our clients accelerate innovation for competitive advantage."
