IBM Corp is integrating Arbor Software Inc’s Essbase multidimensional database server into its Information Warehouse Solution. The work will enable Essbase to extract data from DB2 running on IBM and non-IBM servers and 1-2-3 users will be able to access data stored on Essbase servers and on any DB2 system. Arbor will also support access to DB2 from Essbase servers running under AIX, HP-UX and Windows NT.
