Informa Boosts Performance By Upgrading To IDS 11

Partnering with Informa

Informa, an IBM Business Partner and leading provider of custom data management solutions in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, has improved its business by upgrading to Informix Dynamic Server (IDS ) 11.

IDS has been a part of Informa’s IT infrastructure for the past 20 years. By upgrading to the latest release of the Informix data server, Informa has cut down on administrative costs, hardware requirements, application development time and overall total cost of ownership. Informa has also seen response times up to seven times faster, thus increasing sales and customer retention. Informa is so impressed with IDS that it is beta testing the next version, code-named Cheetah 2.

"We have been participating in the Cheetah 2 closed Beta and know that our customers will appreciate the new functionality, which will help them dramatically improve response times, speed the development of new applications, and reduce costs and hardware requirements," said Rob Prop, manager, professional services, Informa. "In our tests we have seen a 150 percent increase in performance when using Cheetah’s improved clustering features, which will allow our customers to do more transactions and raise the availability with the same hardware cost."

Informa is one of a growing number of companies choosing to partner with IBM to offer customers technology innovation and business value.
