23. Only DB2 has led performance in
these key benchmarks at the same time

24. “…we have observed a 40% cut in
response times with DB2…”
—Peter Boegler, SAP IT

25. Better database performance means…
lower server costs
and
lower power costs

26. Get more
from your Storage

27. DB2 has deep compression for:
Database tables
Temporary tables
Database indexes

28. “…up to 83%… helps us minimize storage costs
and increase performance”
— Jean Holley, CIO, Tellabs, Inc.

storage costs when compared to
other databases
* Based on Internal IBM tests.

30. “…cost savings are more than $2M
initially, with ongoing savings of
$500k a year”
—Michael Henson, SunTrust Bank, Inc.

31. Better data compression means…
lower storage costs
and lower power costs
and less administration
and better performance

32. Easily move
from Oracle Database
to DB2
