ocket change, comparing apples to oranges and old ANTS/CEO to new ANTS/CEO..........lol
Jeff, as the former (just retired in June) IBM Business Unit Exec for all Information Management Software sales for NY and NJ (and a former IBM regional tech specialist), the center of Sybase ASE installations worldwide, I can tell about 90% of the Sybase customer exec’s could not wait to get off of the Sybase ASE product. I’ll give you the stuff seems to run OK, but the savings in disk alone paid for the move and Sybase has done little over the years to improve performance or to excite their customer base. Many of the customers on Wall Street have DB2 licenses allowing for unlimited deployment. So the ROI is simple; Make the migration easy, ANTs makes it mindless; Save 60-70% of all disk usage DB2 does that no problem (In fact in a recent customer test we reduced disk by 81% – Tables, index and temp), improve performance and enhance virtualization and workload management and if you wish run HA using DB2 Purescale (Purescale is like Oracle RAC but better)but it’s not really like anything Sybase has.
What is different about ANTs technology on DB2 is that IBM has spent the better part of 18 months integrating this into their DB2 technology so that rather than sitting on the outside of the engine this stuff is integrated into the engine. The reason is simplePERFORMANCE. Because of this IBM is reselling the software. It is an IBM product with IBM support.
And just so the rest of the purists know. DB2 for over a year has supported OCI and PL/SQL, the Oracle primitives natively in DB2. In June my team ran a warehouse benchmark changing all the customer SQL to native DB2 syntax to get good performance. After that we ran it against DB2 with all the original Oracle syntax (PLSQL etc, and it ran exactly the same speed. Of course we did run far faster than the Exadata box with less than half of the Intel processors. My point in mentioning the DB2 Oracle compatability on this Sybase blog is thatas you start seeing the numbers coming out on the ANTs integrated DB2
SKIN software don’t be surprised if they blow you away. And then of course there are some new things in the wings.
Keep in mind that ANTS products are IMPROVED!!!!!!
