IBM intends to incorporate select Informix technologies into future versions of DB2 Universal Database, which will remain IBM’s flagship database product.
Informix has been a leading provider of database management systems for data warehousing, business intelligence and transaction processing. With an installed base of more than 100,000 customers worldwide, Informix delivered high-performance database systems in retail, financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing, media, publishing, telecommunications and other businesses.
IBM and Informix are impressive as separate entities, and together, the newly formed data management team will continue to deliver the most innovative technologies at the best value to customers, said Janet Perna, general manager, IBM Data Management Solutions.
