Informix Spatial DataBlade Module


Information Management software
Overview
  • IBM Informix® Spatial DataBlade™ module brings all the significant features and benefits of the IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) to location-based data. Many key business decisions involve location and proximity. The Spatial Datablade enables organizations to transform both traditional and location-based data into important information to help gain a competitive advantage.

  • Expands IBM IDS object-relational data server to provide industry leading SQL-based spatial data types and functions, that can be used directly through standard SQL queries or with client-side Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software (such as that from ESRI and MapInfo).

  • Delivers innovative spatial technology via a convenient no-charge download.

  • Generates vital business intelligence for a competitive edge.

  • Maximizes spatial data capabilities; enables critical business decisions.

  • Supports Enterprise Replication of spatial data types.

  • Drives industry-leading spatial query performance with the IBM IDS.


  • Enables organizations to intelligently manage complex geospatial information alongside traditional data without sacrificing the efficiency of the relational database model. 

  • Built-in Informix R-tree multidimensional index to provide industry-leading spatial query performance.

  • IBM Informix Geodetic DataBlade module enables customers to manage geospatial information referenced by latitude-longitude coordinates.  


System Requirements

Informix Spatial DataBlade module runs on most systems that have a UNIX®, Linux® or Windows® operating system. For UNIX and Linux, we recommend a minimum of 23MB of disk space, 256MB of memory and one CPU. For Windows, we recommend a minimum of 11MB of disk space, 256MB of memory and one CPU. Many applications will require substantially larger systems. Your IBM sales team will work with you to optimize the hardware required for your application.
