IBM has unveiled the next version of
Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) with enhanced
clustering capabilities for data centres.
The company says the new IDS 11, code-named ‘Cheetah’, is the
first data server in the industry to provide clustered data centres
with continuous data availability and disaster recovery, regardless
of the geographic location or distance between backup datacentre
sites.
“IDS 11 will offer our customers a superior combination of lower
cost, better performance, near hands free administration and
greater reliability,” said Arvind Krishna, vice-president of IBM
data servers.
“The new global availability feature is unmatched ,and will
allow IDS to expand its presence in the data centre,” said
Krishna.
IBM said IDS 11 borrows information management technology from
its mainframe systems to improve performance.
It is aimed at customers with little or no database
administration (DBA) support to manage a multitude of remote data
server locations, such as retail stores, hotels, banking branches,
and hospitals.
