DB2 Storage Optimization

DB2 9 can save up to 80% in storage space

The DB2 Storage Optimization Feature gives you the ability to compress data on disk in order to decrease disk space and storage infrastructure requirements. Since disk storage systems can often be the most expensive components of a database solution, even a small reduction in the storage subsystem can result in substantial cost savings for the entire database solution.
