Conclusion

IBM solidDB Universal Cache is relational in-memory database software that delivers extreme speed, performing up to ten times faster than conventional databases. It uses the familiar SQL language to allow applications to achieve throughput of tens of thousands of transactions per second with response times measured in microseconds, also providing applications extreme data availability with sub-second failover. It can be deployed as a cache for IBM DB2, IDS, or Oracle RDBMS to deliver performance-critical data with extreme speed.

This tutorial has presented an IBM solidDB Universal Cache solution and explained how to install and configure its component parts. It has taken you step-by-step through a sample solution, the IBM solidDB Universal Cache, and a DB2 LUW back-end database. It has included a full bi-directional replication and a simple sample application. You should now be able to develop and implement your own solution.
