Database Development

Proactive Data Management Controls Data Growth. To take control, organizations must begin with the conscious decision not to let data growth proceed unexamined.

Vendors in this market have been challenged in their attempts to gain market visibility and awareness for their products and for the benefits they can provide compared with just throwing more hardware at the problem.

Adopting an Integrated Data Management strategy can be a highly effective way to help IT support business growth, facilitate data governance and manage costs.

In this white paper we will discuss data breakage and access in more detail, and then briefly consider how IBM Optim works, particularly with respect to System z, though Optim's capabilities are also generally applicable to distributed systems.

All enterprises dealing with private data in test environments should mask or generate test data to comply with regulations such as Payment Card Industry (PCI), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and European Union (EU) as well as to protect against internal and external attacks.

Experienced business users are demanding an integrated view of unstructured content -- or "soft" information - with the harder data already available to them in the warehouse.

This paper describes how unified information access bridges information silos by uniting content and data in one index, which enables powerful solutions and applications that offer more complete insight.

This study highlights best practices from 72 companies to identify how best in class organizations use data to achieve superior performance.

The union strives to refine its products and performance on an on-going basis, and the mainframe-based solution was significantly impairing TIB's ability to achieve this. It needed a solution that could migrate the union's mission critical unemployment fund system, containing IMS databases (IMS/DB), to the Windows platform.

In this document we're first going to explore the use of the insurance metaphor in terms of its most fundamental element: the broad consequences of data loss. We'll also discuss industry and regulatory consequences of data loss.

The purpose of deduplication is to provide more storage, particularly backup storage, for less money, right? Then wouldn't it be ridiculous if deduplication vendors were demanding that their customers pay more per terabyte of storage? Or if they were simply pushing the task of integrating, monitoring, and managing deduplication back onto their users?

Many organizations have been exploring how to realize the economic benefits of cloud computing within their own datacenter.

Clouds are all the rage right now. And the truth is that cloud-based computing can be a tremendous value.

The increasingly sophisticated nature of information theft, and the continued emergence of new data privacy protection regulations worldwide, requires strong data security. Effective information security starts by protecting data at the source - the databases in which it resides. Historically most organizations have relied on network perimeter and application level security to restrict access to sensitive data, leaving their databases and the sensitive information inside exposed.
