    environments.

Over 6000 downloads IDS 9.4 is the most
successful download ever at the IIUG site.IIUG,
October, 2003
the majority of Informix users plan to
continue to use or expand their use of Informix
in the foreseeable future July, 2003 IBM survey
of over 200 Informix customers worldwide
10
IDS 9.40 High Performance Technology

    Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAMs)

15
IDS 9.40 Application Development enhancements
  • SQL language enhancements
  • New joins, triggers on views, union in
    sub-select, named return parameters, order by not
    in select, sequences
  • Expanded Unicode support
  • Multiple collation support
  • CSDK 2.81
  • Continued support of IBM Informix
    4GL,SQL,ODBC,JDBC,OLE/DB,SQLJ
  • .NET Support

16
IBM Informix Dynamic Server Roadmap
17
IBM Informix Linux Strategy
  • The IBM strategy is to support the Enterprise
    Editions of the Linux distributions powered by
    UnitedLinux and RedHat Enterprise Editions, and
    to ensure that we support these distributions
    within a short time of their availability.
  • We do not individually certify all Linux
    distributions. Instead, we certify our products
    based on Linux Kernel version and glibc version.
    Any customer with a valid IBM maintenance
    contract running Informix products on Linux (at
    the kernel level specified or higher) should turn
    to IBM for support if they have an issue that
    prevents the smooth operation of their Informix
    implementation. 64-Bit Linux

23
Why is IDS still better than the competition!
  • IDS runs applications with less hardware than the
    competition!
  • For every dollar spent on off-the-shelf software
    made by Oracle in the 1990s, a customer could pay
    as much as 10 times more in installation and
    customization costs, former company President
    Lane said. from an article on news.com (July
    2001)
  • No expensive add-ons. Everything you need to
    run IDS is included in one server price.
  • Partitioning, Spatial, Replication, Availability,
    Developers Kit, Web Administration, and more
  • Rapidly deploy new applications in the
    development environment of choice, whether 4GL,
    ESQL/C, or Java!
  • Operate IDS databases with fewer DBAs then the
    competition (2-1, or 3-1 ratio are not uncommon
    among users of both IDS)
