DB2® and the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series

Information Management software

Intel and IBM Collaborate to Boost Performance, Lower Power Consumption and Reduce the Cost of Data

Intel® Xeon® inside. Powerful. Intelligent. Learn more.For more than a decade, IBM and Intel have collaborated to optimize enterprise solutions: Complete, cost-effective, performance-optimized stacks of IBM Information Management software running on servers powered by Intel Xeon processors.

Timely, trusted information is the currency of success at all levels of business. But increasing data volumes make it difficult to deliver that information. As data volumes go up, so do the costs of data management.

With IT Costs under intense scrutiny, there has never been a better time to upgrade to better performing and more energy-efficient servers. By coupling the latest version of IBM DB2 with servers based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, enterprises can transform data into useful business insights more quickly and deliver all those insights into context, all while lowering costs and power consumption.

“When you really consider what’s going on now with Intel’s intelligent performance, you consider that with what IBM is up to with DB2, goodness, this is not business as usual. This is really game changing technology.”
--Mark Budzinksi, VP and GM, WhereScape USA.
