IBM and SAP® have a unique partnership that was established with the goal of delivering the very best enterprise IT solutions to SAP customers. Both companies are leaders in their field: SAP brings industry-leading applications and IBM brings world-class infrastructure components, including hardware and software. It all began more than 30 years ago-and SAP solutions based on IBM® DB2® software have been available since 1995. This first version of DB2 Optimized for SAP software was introduced in 2005.
Considering the vast amount of data kept within SAP applications, no infrastructure component is more important than the database. Extreme reliability and availability are essential. IBM has pioneered the development of data management technology that can help reduce the total cost of SAP ownership and improve performance so users are more productive. Today, these ground-breaking technologies-some are unique to SAP applications- are incorporated into DB2.
Several highlights of the DB2 versions called "DB2 Optimized for SAP software," which is designed for use in SAP environments, include:
. Deep Compression can help reduce SAP storage requirements by up to 50 percent while also improving response times by roughly 20 percent
. DB2 Multi-Dimensional Clustering can boost the performance of SAP NetWeaverBI queries by factors (measurements have shown factors up to 8)
. DB2 Database Partitioning Feature provides proven linear scale-out capability that is virtually unlimited-up to 1,000 nodes-to improve database query performance
