Version 11.5 Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) proves that it's good to share

IDS has a tremendously loyal following that should be boosted by the introduction of new features via the IDS line, and also the complementary capabilities that solidDB brings to the table.

The 451 Take. Given IBM's former focus on DB2, it is fascinating to see the company talking about not one or two but five enterprise database products. This is a more realistic approach to the market, and despite some overlaps, each of the products has its own strengths and weaknesses and opportunities to exploit. IDS has proven to have a very loyal following, and with the addition of new functionality - such as the shared-disk clustering capabilities - and in combination with the newly acquired solidDB in-memory capabilities, could begin to provide IBM with a more complete portfolio with which to compete head-to-head with Oracle.
