Get elasticity combined with simplicity. The IBM Db2® Warehouse is a software-defined data warehouse for private and virtual clouds that support Docker container technology. This data warehousing approach is client-managed and optimized for fast and flexible deployment. Expect automated scaling to meet agile analytic workloads. Fuse IBM Db2 BLU Acceleration® and Netezza technologies; this warehouse is supported on a variety of platforms, such as Intel x86, Power and Linux on IBM z Systems®. Db2 Warehouse can also be deployed on IBM Cloud™ Private platform, IBM Bluemix®, or any virtual private cloud, such as AWS or Microsoft Azure.
Product benefits
Save time and resources to meet your SLAs
Deploy a pre-configured data warehouse in minutes on your Docker container-supported infrastructure of choice. Get elastic scaling and ease of updates and upgrades.
Gain fresh insight with in-database analytics
Apply in-database analytics where the data resides. Netezza-like in-database analytics tools, Spark and R open source provide predictive modeling algorithms built directly into the database.
Lightning-fast query processing
Use Spark and IBM BLU Acceleration in-memory SQL columnar processing with an MPP cluster architecture to speed up complex queries and predictive model building, testing and deployment.
Automatic schema generation and data loading
With just a few clicks, you can automatically transform unstructured data sources into a structured format for analysis – for Twitter data, Open Data, geospatial data and more.
More easily move workloads to meet SLAs
Move workloads to the right location with ease. With Db2 Warehouse, you get a common SQL analytics engine across public and private clouds – one that’s compatible with on-premises data warehouses.
Unique in-memory data processing
IBM Db2 Warehouse uses BLU Acceleration, IBM’s in-memory columnar processing technology. Entire data sets and decompression are not needed in-memory. Expect pre-fetching of data and data skipping.
Load geospatial data into Db2 Warehouse
IBM Netezza analytics are built directly into IBM Db2 Warehouse, with multiple algorithms. This provides linear regression, decision tree clustering and more.
Embedded Apache Spark engine
IBM Db2 Warehouse combined with Spark delivers higher performance than stand-alone Spark, providing a better data science experience for data exploration.
Integrated R development and deployment
IBM Db2 Warehouse includes integrated RStudio for development and R in-database functions, operating directly on data in a database. Load data and perform analytics within minutes.
Make data migration easier
IBM Db2 Warehouse works with supported Db2 drivers, and is compatible with Db2, PDA and Oracle. Deploy as a stand-alone cloud data warehouse, or integrate with your on-premises data warehouse.
Integrated Spark analytics
Minimize the latency of access to data and speed up calculations. With IBM Db2 Warehouse, each node contains its own data and is overlaid with a local Apache Spark executor process.
Delivered for SDEs that support Docker container technology
Deploy on any Docker-supporting operating system of choice: X86, Windows, Mac or IBM Power hardware. Db2 Warehouse can auto-provision resources to handle changing workload needs.
