Hi everyone. In the DB2 labs, we've been very busy over the past few months getting our Cancun release (aka 10.5 FP4) ready. Even though it's mechanically a fixpack, this level of DB2 contains some very exciting new capabilities. Please join me as I take you through them.
You'll hear about ...
- A whole new level of performance, compression and simplicity with our BLU acceleration technology
- Shadow tables - a new way to get real-time answers to your reporting and analytical questions, using our BLU acceleration technology directly on operational data
- Achieving mission critical availability more quickly and at lower cost, through new pureScale network options, virtualization support, and HADR support for BLU
- Bringing the power of BLU acceleration to your Oracle applications, via support for SQL and PL/SQL compatibility with BLU
- Superior performance and less disruption for SAP environments, thru new comprehensive SAP certification for BLU
- POWER8 support and exploitation - the world's first database optimized for this new processor
... and several other interesting capabilities.
