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. XcelaSAN dramatically improves productivity levels and offers flexibility for administrators in an easy to install and cost-effective solution. Integrated high availability eliminates costly and disruptive recovery processes.
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.
