Migrate to IBMDB2 on the IntelXeon Processor

Migrating to a new database platform or hardware architecture seems daunting. However, organizations may have to make changes to achieve their key business goals. For example, migrating from OracleDatabase to IBMDB2 helps reduce costs and complexity.

Migrating to a new platform or hardware architecture seems daunting. However, organizations may have to make changes to achieve their key business goals. For example, migrating from Oracle Database to IBM®DB2®This helps reduce costs and complexity. Migrate data from the Sun-based PostgreSQL infrastructure to Intel-based®Xeon®IBM System x for processors®It can improve database performance, integration rate, scalability and availability.

Migration to Intel Xeon processor-based DB2 and IBM servers delivers significant benefits regardless of the initial objective. The built-in functions of DB2 make the migration from Oracle Database to DB2 as smooth and simple as possible.

Reduce costs and complexity with IBM DB2

IBM DB2 provides numerous features and features to achieve lower costs than running Oracle databases. For example, IBM DB2 deep compression can compress tables, indexes, temporary space, and XML data, helping organizations significantly reduce storage costs. With deep compression, organizations can save up to 70% of disk space while significantly improving performance. In addition, IBM provides highly adaptive virtualization licensing options to help organizations migrate data to DB2, reducing virtualization costs.

With automated routine maintenance tasks, IBM DB2 also helps lower database management complexity and costs than managing Oracle environments. The Organization's staffing needs are reduced, and DBAs can take time to process projects with higher value.

IBM DB2 also provides more scalable options than Oracle databases to support a wider range of business and IT needs. For example, DB2-based IBM InfoSphere®The IBM database analysis feature (DPF) provided in Warehouse enables organizations to scale their data Warehouse systems in an incremental manner using a non-shared approach to improve performance.

IBM DB2 pureScale for online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads®Technology allows organizations to add nodes to clusters in a highly effective way that is transparent to running applications. Deliver high availability, scalability, and flexible system maintenance options with IBM DB2 pureScale and IBM servers with Intel Xeon processors without the need to invest a lot of money, or purchase complex applications that are optimized for mission-critical OLTP or Analytic Applications.

Simplify the process of migration to DB2

The compatibility features in DB2 help simplify the migration process from Oracle Database to DB2, minimize migration costs, and accelerate the process of creating value. Today, organizations can complete the migration in a shorter period of time, and usually require a very small amount of application rewriting workload, you don't even have to rewrite it at all (see the IBM Data Management Article "migrating from Oracle or Sybase to DB2 within weeks" for more information ). After the migration is completed, developers can use existing Oracle Database skills in DB2 to avoid learning the time and cost of the new platform (1 ).

Improve Performance with IBM System x servers and Intel Xeon E7 series Processors

IBM eX5 enterprise systems use Intel®Xeon®The E7 series processor is the most powerful product in the IBM System x Server and delivers 63% performance improvement by 1. Organizations that migrate data from the old version of Sun or table store to DB2 can achieve higher performance gains, enable organizations to significantly integrate the database environment, and even improve the performance of each server by more than seven times, in addition, it does not increase the resource usage of servers.

The IBM eX5 System Based on Intel Xeon E7 series Processors lays a solid foundation for DB2 workloads. IBM DB2 running in IBM eX5 systems with Intel Xeon E7 series Processors delivers four times per core performance compared to the best publicly available TPC-C results for Oracle Database/Sun-based systems, up to 42% of the cost per core improved by 3. Organizations can deliver results more quickly and process larger data volumes without increasing the server resource occupation.

Intel®Xeon®E7-4800 series Processors help to provide all the security and availability features necessary for IBM servers to support the most mission-critical workloads. For example, the machine check architecture recovery (MCA recovery) technology can facilitate automatic recovery from errors that could previously cause server crashes. Intel®Advanced Encryption Standards-New Instructions (Intel®AES-NI) enhances security while reducing the typical negative impact of encryption on performance.

The IBM eX5 system with Intel Xeon E7 series Processors also provides DB2 with scalability, which saves up to 50% of memory compared to systems with other processors. The additional memory capacity supports up to 6 TB of memory and 8 multi-core processor slots. Large-scale memory capacity supports peak workloads, allowing for database growth and controlling server resource usage.

Implement migration

Migrating to a new database or hardware platform seems challenging, but running IBM DB2 on an IBM eX5 system equipped with Intel Xeon E7 series Processors also brings considerable benefits. Organizations can improve performance, reliability, and scalability while reducing costs and complexity.
