The close cooperation between IBM and SAP has promoted DB2 database applications

DB2 database is an important "weapon" for IBM in the database field. To promote the application of DB2, IBM has worked closely with SAP, enterprises that use SAP products use DB2 to achieve better data compression quality and reduce hardware purchase costs, which promotes the application of DB2.

According to IBM, over 5000 customers have successfully migrated to IBM systems over the past four years. Although this data is not limited to the database field, it does not point out that these customers have 25 years of successful experience migrating from Oracle to help customers adopt IBM migration. Generally, the IBM Server Makeovers service can reduce the total cost of ownership by 20%-60%. Similarly, IBM quoted CalbbyAnalytics, an IT research and advisory organization, as reporting that 40% of database disk space can be recycled when the database is migrated from Oracle to IBM DB2. This means that if DB2 is used, an enterprise will save $20 million in storage costs for every $8 million spent on database storage. The powerful tool for DB2 to achieve this goal is the perfect Compression Algorithm in DB2.

For the IBM information management software department where DB2 is located, whether it is the integration of various internal systems or the cooperation with hardware, it is demonstrating IBM's determination to work in this field. If these initiatives are targeted to a certain extent at its rival Oracle, IBM has launched a tool to support user migration from the Oracle database to the DB2 database, as well as close cooperation with SAP, promoting the application of DB2 databases is directed to Oracle.

It is understood that, in the latest DB2 product, tools for reading Oracle databases are embedded, and data can be applied to the DB2 environment. IBM believes that, in this way, users can easily apply Oracle databases and achieve cost saving. "In fact, the biggest difference between us and our competitors is that IBM has launched an integrated information platform that enables business analysis and prediction. Secondly, we can also integrate data from different data centers in different places, and help users create new business models through business analysis software.

In addition, in order to strengthen its information management capabilities, IBM has acquired specialized companies in data security, data privacy, and data testing. To help users better use the integrated information platform, IBM also has a dedicated support team to help users better implement DB2 applications, including migrating them from Oracle to DB2.

In terms of expansion partners, IBM is strengthening its cooperation with the management software giant SAP. After all, for IBM, application software is not the company's field. In comparison, IBM prefers to work closely with enterprises in this field to promote the application of related products of the company. The close cooperation between IBM and SAP has greatly promoted the application of DB2 databases. For both parties, they are also exploring how to give users a better application experience. For example, compared with other databases, enterprises using SAP products can use DB2 to achieve better data compression quality and reduce hardware purchase costs.
