Building a smarter planet means managing and analyzing oceans of data in real time. We are crossing a new threshold in our ability to manage pervasive information, analyze it to gain insight, predict risks and opportunities, and drive faster, smarter decisions and actions. To provide this level of intelligence, you need warehousing software that can exploit the latest hardware advances to extract the greatest value for your technology investment.
IBM eX5 technology has redefined x86 computing, setting new standards across the x86 server landscape.
The latest IBM eX5 enterprise systems, based on the 5th generation of IBM® Enterprise X-Architecture®, feature the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family, larger and more efficient memory options and high IOPS storage, delivering incredible new levels of leadership performance, scalability and reliability for your mission-critical, enterprise-class workloads. With IBM eX5 systems your business can simply operate smarter with:
- Maximum memory with unique expansion capabilities
- Fast, integrated data access
- Extreme flexibility with node partitioning
- Optimized systems targeted to specific workloads
This unique combination of capabilities will help you efficiently consolidate multiple workloads from older servers and deliver faster deployment with less risk.
eX5 is ideal for memory intensive analytics workload. In particular, InfoSphere Warehouse's No Copy Analytics use the powerful DB2 data server to deliver OLAP (online analytical processing), data mining, and text analytics.
Memory efficiency is even more critical for multi-dimensional analysis. Unlike most OLAP solutions, which require you to copy data out of the warehouse before you can analyze it, InfoSphere Warehouse provides direct support for optimized OLAP analytics against the dynamic warehouse. The InfoSphere Warehouse Cubing Services capability enables easier discovery and understanding of the relationships in your data and offers direct access to current, accurate information for better business decisions.
Together, InfoSphere Warehouse and eX5 servers help you discover the answers you need quickly, easily and with confidence.
"The IBM Information Management team is excited about the new eX5 systems because they represent a leap forward in x86 server design for both rack and blade configurations. This breakthrough technology delivers improvements in scalability, memory capacity, storage flexibility, and system reliability that together result in lower costs for our clients. We will absolutely take advantage of the unique eX5 technologies, such as MAX5 and eXFlash, and marry them with our software innovations to deliver workload optimized systems for both database and analytic workloads - where memory and storage performance is critical."
