DB2
IBM DB2 is one of IBM's relational database management system (RDBMS) software products and most often refers to the DB2 Enterprise Server Edition. DB2 offers a scalable and reliable information infrastructure that enables users to use a wide variety of data - including I/O-intensive data like hot data, active logs, table spaces, and indexes - on a number of platforms, including UNIX (AIX), Windows, Linux and z/OS.
Dataram’s XcelaSAN is the industry's first intelligent, block-level Fibre Channel storage optimization appliance that provides high-speed access to frequently accessed data via dynamic caching and resource allocation for maximum application performance.
Financial / Banking Applications
Challenge: Financial institutions may experience increases in I/O-intensive batch file process time and overlaps with normal online transaction time.
XcelaSAN Benefit: By implementing the XcelaSAN optimization solution, financial institutions can reduce latency and batch processing times while significantly increasing OLTP (online transaction processing) performance – and avoid the need to over-provision host resources to meet minimum performance requirements.
Web Services
Challenge: During peak work loads, companies may experience reduced system performance, resulting in a failure to meet service level agreements (SLAs). That can mean costly fines and loss of clients to competitors.
XcelaSAN Benefit: XcelaSAN can maintain performance during peak periods, improve overall productivity of the system, and increase customer satisfaction.
Healthcare
Challenge: Storage systems supporting critical healthcare applications may not be able to scale to meet higher customer demand, resulting in slower response times that negatively impact customer satisfaction.
XcelaSAN Benefit: XcelaSAN can support significantly more users, provide better response time, and increase customer satisfaction.
