Abstracts:
DB2 11 Performance and Availability Features: What Can I Take Advantage Of?
There are several features in DB2 11 focusing on opportunities for improved performance. Many of those features will be in the form of internal processing improvements and will be automatically available as we migrate into DB2 11. But for those of us who want to take advantage of other new features we need to look at what is available, determine if it applies to our environment, how to implement it, what the expectations are, and what are the pros and cons. This presentation will look at some of the new features in DB2 11 focused on performance and availability and provide a discussion on usage and expectations.
- Discuss overall performance improvements and goals in DB2 11
- Discuss features for improved application and database performance
- Discuss usage potential for new features and any required changes
- Discuss implementation and expectations of these new features
Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP)
The concept of Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) was coined by Gartner. IBM implements HTAP in two ways:
• IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator (IDAA) - DB2 for z/OS (using Netezza hardware)
• DB2 BLU Acceleration – DB2 for Linux, Unix, Windows (a software-only implementation)
See how customers are using HTAP to eliminate analytic latency and data synchronization issues and transform and simplify information management infrastructure.
DB2 Version 11 Migration Experiences from the Field
Because the initial response to DB2 11 has been very positive, with significant CPU savings, more and more IBM clients are making the move to DB2 11. Upgrading to the latest release of this critical software can bring valuable rewards – if you know how to take advantage of it.
This discussion will touch on moving forward to migration planning from DB2 10 to DB2 11. You will learn about some surprises, pitfalls to be aware of and lessons learned from those who have already migrated. The discussion includes hints and tips, enabling fast start, as well as the latest news about migrations and issues we have observed during customer migrations.
