Informix Dynamic Server (IDS)

IBM® Informix® Dynamic Server (IDS) 11.5 is an exceptional online transaction processing (OLTP) database that offers outstanding performance, reliability, scalability and manageability for businesses of all sizes.

With a full-featured relational database management system (RDBMS) platform, IDS offers extensive capabilities to meet unique business requirements with the speed of native database functions.

Continuous availability
The latest release of Informix Dynamic Server (IDS), version 11.5, delivers high availability that can be implemented using low-cost hardware in a cluster environment. Each server can be used to distribute workload, providing increased processing power to get the most from hardware investments. Data is synchronized immediately — whether the additional servers are in the same room or around the world.

Scale on demand
With IDS 11.5, you can add a processor in minutes to scale on demand for managing peak workloads. In addition, you can distribute transactions across an entire network of servers and establish pre-defined business rules to distribute connections according to business needs.

Easy administration
IDS 11.5 is the ideal database for managing multiple databases with minimal database administration requirements. The GUI-based OpenAdmin Tool (link resides outside of ibm.com) provides a global view of all servers. The SQL API and scheduler make it even easier to automate maintenance activities, enabling database administration to disappear inside the application.
