Product/service information:
This is pure high-performance in-memory technology for mainframes that can solve batch processing, throughput capacity, mobile traffic, resource usage, rules processing and other challenges IT organizations face in their mainframe datacenters. tableBASE accelerates Db2 applications, improves mainframe application performance, makes Db2 data more accessible, reduces CPU and MSU usage, and helps to reduce operational expense. All this without the need to make changes to your Db2 database or your application logic. Preparing for IBM’s Tailored Fit Pricing (TFP): TFP brings cost certainty to mainframe shops interested in controlling their yearly mainframe spend. By first lowering your R4HA usage baseline with tableBASE, you can get the most out of TFP. Using tableBASE will lower the resource usage baseline—allowing you to benefit more from future growth pricing (which comes at a sharply reduced rate; much lower than your committed MSU rate). Combining tableBASE and TFP is a sure-fire way to control costs, and to find more capacity for your growing workloads.
