Business Intelligence on System z

Data Warehousing applications and online transaction processing applications are beginning to blur as the new age of Dynamic Warehousing emerges. Analytic applications are being driven to provide real-time data access. Operational Business Intelligence is becoming a dominant requirement in the marketplace as more and more customers are driving BI applications and uses to increasing numbers of end users within an enterprise. System z is known for its ability to support a high availability (24x7) environment required in today’s global economy.

IBM provides a sophisticated dynamic warehouse solution which includes the necessary tools to build, maintain, tune, manage, secure, enforce regulatory compliance, and analyze critical business information. Dynamic Warehousing tools and functions on System z may be combined with enhanced features on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows platform to deliver the most powerful range of data warehousing capabilities in the industry today.

In addition to IBM software, new specialty engines such as the System z9 Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) and the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) help to improve processing efficiencies and lower the cost of a System z data warehouse solution.
