DB2 with BLU AccelerationChange the game for in-memory

� In-memory columnar processing

� Dynamic memory technology

� Data skipping

� Parallel vector processing

� No need for indexes or tuning

� Create, load and go

� Modular, flexible system design

� Clients reporting 10x compression3

� Compressed data remains actionable

� Very high compute and storage density

� Lowest TCA through efficient configurations

� Lower license costs with terabyte pricing

� Upgrade with lower cost, no overhead

1Client-reported testing results in DB2 10.5 early release program. Individual results will vary depending on individual workloads, configurations and conditions, including table size and content.
