Storage Management White Papers

Demo: Need Disk Space? IBM DB2 9 Compression Demo

Overview For large warehouses or databases with huge volumes of data, the cost of the storage subsystem can easily exceed the combined cost of the hardware server and the data server software. Therefore, even a small reduction in the storage subsystem can result in substantial cost savings for the entire database solution.

The new data row compression technology in DB2 9 can save up to 80% savings on disc space and I/O improvements of up to 40%. If the volume of the data you need to manage is exploding, you may want to take a closer look at DB2 9. View the demo now to learn more.
