Introduction to IBM Informix Dynamic Database Server

Ibm ids-Informix Dynamic Server is a key-type general-purpose OLTP database for enterprises and working groups. Large and small enterprises that need transaction databases are now deploying IDS to solve real-world business problems.
* Enterprise Business
IDS is used in OLTP, decision support, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, and many other key enterprise applications. Many of these applications are built using IBM WebSphere Studio and deployed on the IBM WebSphere Application Server. With continuous IDS and WebSphere versions, the interaction between these highly compatible technologies will be continuously enhanced.
Small and Medium Enterprises
In addition to the enterprise-level scalability of IDS, IDS continues to be the main player in the small and medium-sized enterprise market. It has more than 20,000 customers worldwide and is strongly concerned with the Linux market. Many of these deployments are based on the powerful network of Informix's original value-added distributors, integrators, and ISVs. The wide range of PartnerWorld for Software and PartnerWorld for Developers series of service advantages can greatly improve the business opportunities of these business partners. * Embedded applications
Because of its convenient portability, IDS is often integrated into OEM solutions, such as Intrado (9-1-1 emergency system) solutions, Telelogic (Software Configuration Management) and many other solutions.
* Technical leadership
IDS has been focusing on the leadership of core technologies since the beginning. IDS is the first database to bring key technologies to the market. These key technologies include range (expression) segmentation [range (expression) partitioning], multi-thread architecture-the first dynamic Scalable Architecture (DSA) developed by IDS 7), parallel data query, high-availability data replication, enterprise replication, the world's leading scalable architecture, R-tree and GIS (Space) integration, TimeSeries data, database Java, and so on. IBM will develop new IDS every 18 months.
