The Future: 

The Future “One of the most significant investments we’ve made in information management over the last three years is the acquisition of the Informix and U2 database business. With this acquisition, we not only doubled our market share in Unix databases, but it opened the door to thousands of new customers and partners who shared our respect for the Informix and U2 technology and vision for the future – customers and partners like you, who are intensely loyal to the Informix and U2 products. “ “Our database servers – Informix, U2, DB2, and IMS – are the core products for managing record-oriented data, and we’re continuing to enhance them with unsurpassed levels of performance and scalability, security, and high availability...” Janet Perna, General Manager IBM Information Management Solutions

Slide14: 

U2 Products have benefited from IBM’s development process, quality standards and technology sharing Continued development including major new functionality to support “on demand” technology requirements Investment in Product Releases & Innovation

U2: Optimized for Embedding in SMB Solutions: 

U2: Optimized for Embedding in SMB Solutions Ease of Use and Development The IBM UniData and UniVerse (U2) extended relational (MV) model utilizes three-dimensional files that consolidate data within a single record. This methodology eliminates excessive disc reads, providing highly efficient data storage, high performance and cost savings resulting from reduced hardware requirements and more intuitive, faster solution development. Higher Education Solutions IT budgets of higher education institutions are generally limited. School administrators need to track scheduling, financial and other educational data while keeping their administrative expenses to a minimum. U2 databases are easy to use, less costly to maintain and help streamline business processes. U2 zero admin features are a good fit for this segment. Over 4 million college and university students are served by an IBM U2 database. Government/Public Safety Solutions Hundreds of dispatchers in law enforcement, fire/EMS, and ambulances trust their Public Safety applications based on U2 databases to help them provide timely responses to emergency calls 24x7x365. High availability, reliability and low cost features make the U2 databases a strong fit for this type of solution. What’s New? IBM UniData 7.1 with external database access (EDA) will be available in late June. UniVerse will have this functionality in release 11.1, targeted for 2H 2006. EDA will enable U2 applications to store data in DB2 UDB. This feature will leverage a client’s existing U2 investment and accelerate business momentum via IBM’s market and technology strengths. U2 are high performance, easy to use databases optimized for embedding in SMB solutions.
