IBM Db2 Warehouse on Cloud is now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
What is IBM Db2 Warehouse on Cloud?
IBM Db2® Warehouse on Cloud™ is a fully-managed, high-performance, petabyte-scale cloud data warehouse that delivers true elasticity with independent scaling of storage and compute. It features a highly optimized columnar data store, actionable compression and in-memory processing to supercharge your analytics and machine-learning workloads. What’s new for Db2 Warehouse on Cloud:
Features
Elastic scaling of compute and storage
Quickly burst on compute during peak demand on your warehouse. Scale compute back down when demand falls, so you only pay for what you use. Manage it through an intuitive user interface or REST API.
Expertly managed and highly secure
Your cloud data warehouse instance is managed, monitored, encrypted and backed up by IBM, so you can focus on data analysis instead of administration.
Self-service backup and restore
Schedule backups timed around and based on your business requirements. Retain up to seven backups that can be used to quickly restore your cloud data warehouse, if the need arises.
Built on the Db2 Common SQL Engine
Write SQL for your application or dashboard and deploy to any form factor, such as the IBM Integrated Analytics System.
Best of Db2 and IBM Netezza in a single warehouse engine
Db2 Warehouse on Cloud is nearly 100 percent compatible with IBM Netezza® and Oracle workloads for a seamless move to the cloud. For a select few cases, IBM offers migration services and free tooling.
In-database machine learning
Train and run machine-learning models directly in the Db2 Warehouse engine, using SQL, Python or R. No data movement and no new skills are required.
