“By choosing to implement DB2 compression right away, we have reduced the database size by around 40 per cent. This gives us faster backup and reduced storage costs, and makes the SAP technical upgrades easier and quicker.” - Andrew Juarez, SAP Lead Basis, CCBCC
Have you had to make the tradeoff between lower storage costs and better performance?
With DB2 you don’t have to choose. Unique DB2 compression algorithms have helped some customers lower their storage needs by more than 80 percent, while improving performance.

- All storage savings on production databases are doubled when you consider that backups and disaster recovery mirrors can also be compressed. This further reduces the time for backup and recovery operations.
- Many users have seen performance improvements thanks to the improved I/O performance and more efficient memory utilization, thereby delaying hardware upgrades.
- Compressing data not only reduces data storage needs, it can also help reduce storage-related energy and infrastructure costs, impacting your environmental footprint.
“We’ve saved more than a million dollars over the past four years in licensing, maintenance and storage costs by migrating from Oracle to DB2. We’ve reinvested these savings into other business projects while keeping our operating expenses flat. As a result, we don’t have to pass rising costs on to consumers, which allow us to maintain our sales volumes and market share.”
