IBM Cloud Pak for Data Upgrade to agility 2 IBM Db2 Modernization Upgrade Data virtualization and AI integration for robust insights Databases must now accommodate data of all types and sources including hybrid and multicloud environments. They must also The data virtualization capabilities in Db2 on IBM Cloud Pak for Data provide greater efficiency to drive optimal time-to-value and return on enable access to data wherever it is located, without needing to move investment. Db2 on IBM Cloud Pak for Data accomplishes these goals it, so users can perform tasks much more efficiently. Instead of using through containerization, a focus on integration, and data virtualization. ETL processes and duplicating data, which can be time consuming and expensive, data can automatically be accessed at a single point. This 1 Containerized for faster time to value is capable of reducing ETL requests by 25% to 65%.

More importantly, virtualization helps ensure the AI capabilities Unlike traditional databases, which can take hours to deploy in embedded within Db2 can be applied to all data. These include addition to weeks of planning and configuration, the containerized machine learning query optimization for greater efficiency, confidence- Db2 extension service that sits on OpenShift can be deployed in less based querying—which returns results with probabilities of accuracy than 5 minutes. Moreover, it is fully integrated, minimizing the need instead of simple yes or no answers—graph database functionality for for additional manual involvement, helping reduce the risk of mistakes relationship-based insights, and native blockchain support to more and freeing employees to do higher-value work. easily leverage this increasingly important technology.

Forrester has found that containerization allowed 73% of users These capabilities are bolstered by native governance features to develop a more consistent deployment process and 66% to in IBM Cloud Pak for Data which allow users to have confidence see increased developer efficiency.3 This is important because in the accuracy of their data as well as data science and analysis administration and support contribute to 60% of a database’s cost features that are built-in or can be added. Essentially, you get the AI of ownership. Simply automating patches saves 30 labor-hours per capabilities in Db2 and the opportunity to build a full stack dedicated month for every 100 VMs. Automated back-ups, upgrades and updates to providing holistic, governed, AI insights with a unified console as the were also shown to deliver operational cost savings of 26%.4 single point of access across the variety of containerized capabilities.
