17. Self Managing Databases Simplification and automation –Space management, backup/restore, data statistics –Leverage of underlying NAS/SAN technology trends Automation Virtualization Performance Translate policy into implementation –Log rates + Recovery Rates => backup frequency –Avoids unnecessary backups, ensures backups to maintain RTO. Accounts for dynamic and adapting workloads. –Almost possible today Stats needed on log rates (RTS on 390) Stats needed on recovery rates Tooling to automate/recommend (CC integration)

19. Informix Vision – IBM Acceleration Information Integration –Web Services –XML –Boatload of Websphere middleware –I-Star (kinda) for XPS Data Deluge –Backport of Informix Arrowhead technology into IDS Buffer manager Large Chunks HA Fast Restart Other stuff… –Breathing life back into HDR SMART & Tooling –Automation of backup, runstats? –Admin tools? Misc –Unicode Libraries

20. Informix technology Strategy: Leverage as much of the entire IBM Technical Team as possible –Research –Storage & Server group –DB2 Tactical: Steal, beg, borrow as much as we can –Across IDS and XPS –Across DB2 Develop new technology as a combined team –Architecture board insures consistency –Research insures proper investigation Some things can’t easily be leveraged so…. –Make it as easy as possible to transition to DB2 when and if desired Application portability Operational consistency

21. Conclusion Data Management Architecture is very healthy at IBM –Informix technologists very engaged –Strong Leverage of technology, skills, experiences –More than just the DBMS Server Single overall strategy, minimizing walls between individual products –Leverage points already being realized in individual products, much more to come Informix products will leverage IBM technology –Application Development (J2EE, MQ, etc) –Operational consistency (SMART, Management and tooling frameworks) Informix products continue developing features for it’s customer base
