Server Update Chart

 

IBM Informix® Dynamic Server (IDS) 9.4 is a best-of-breed online transaction processing (OLTP) database for enterprise and workgroup computing.

»

Protects data assets in a highly-dependable database management system. High Availability Data Replication (HDR) provides complete turn-key disaster recovery. Enterprise Replication (ER) provides selective replication of data across multiple geographic locations.

»

Built on Dynamic Scalable Architecture (DSA) that uses hardware resources more efficiently and minimizes hardware requirements. IDS 9.4 increases the maximum size of an IDS instance from 4 terabytes to a theoretical 128 petabytes -- enabling use of today's large disk drives.

»

Simplifies and automates tasks traditionally associated with maintaining enterprise databases. Automated backup and restore functions eliminate many manual administration tasks.

»

Provides increased flexibility and compatibility for Business Partner applications, including enhanced support of industry standard SQL syntax.

Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition has all the features of Workgroup Edition plus:

»

High Availability Data Replication (HDR) - HDR is the IDS continuous, high-availability solution.

»

Data Partitioning - Partition your data across multiple disks or disk subsystems via simple round-robin distribution or powerful range (expression) based fragmentation techniques.

»

Parallel Data Query - Once your data is partitioned, you can leverage the IDS parallel data query technology to query each partition in parallel. Use this feature to dramatically speed the queries in your applications.

»

Parallel Backup and Restore - This feature allows you to backup and restore your data in parallel. There's no need to serially backup your database. Instead, backup each partition individually!

»

Parallel Load and Unload - The high performance loader takes advantage of the data partitioning model to speed moving data in and out of your database.

»

Enterprise Replication - This solution employs flexible replication technology. It is a high speed, low latency replication solution that is ideal for the needs of the enterprise.
