Sean Poulley Vice President, Databases and Data Warehousing IBM Software Group discusses x6 and The Next Generation Database and it's benefits. The advantages are: Very high compute and storage density, Compressed data remains actionable, Clients reporting 10x compression 3, Lowest TCA through efficient configurations, etc. For more information on System x, visit http://ibm.co/Q7m3iQ. http://www.scribd.com/doc/210716641/The-Next-Generation-Database-and-X6

5. Current System x clients are seeing remarkable results with BLU
Acceleration
“Our query process that used to take 7 minutes can now
be run in 20 seconds, an improvement of 21X. One of
the great benefits of BLU Acceleration is that this great
query performance came without any tuning!”
- Shohei Kato, Engineer
And…
OVER 1000 customers entitled to the power of BLU Acceleration !!!!!!!
