Upgrade into full blown Business Intelligence– Leverage Move up to i to get to POWER6
"Before the introduction of IBM DB2 Web Query, I would typically have towait until the end of the month in order to discover if my key metrics werebeing met. Now with DB2 Web Query, my metrics are on-demand, interactive.” - David C. Roupe, Vice President of Guaranty Services, South Carolina Student Loan

Revenue Opportunities Software Upsell
– Every proposal should include• 2 Licenses of Developer Workbench• Either OLAP or Active Reports (or preferably both) features• Report Broker• Run Time User Enablement• Spreadsheet Client
Performance Considerations– Recommend minimum 2300 CPW and 3GB of Memory– Database tuning DOES MATTER
• Indexes, parallelism, memory allocation, SQE vs. CQE, etc.– Who is doing the work DOES MATTER
• Push as much work to DB2 as possible
HA/DR + BI Servers– A GREAT combination if doing “logical replication”– Leverage the often underutilized backup box for reporting purposes

New Sizing Tool http://www.ibm.com/servers/sizing
– Search on DB2 or Web Query
POWER6 recommendations only– Select workload characteristics
• Specify # of simultaneous RUN TIME users
• Use Slider bar to depict %’s of user types
– Heavy, medium, light• Specify # of developers• Specify database size• Specify whether queries are running in:
– Shared Environment (for example, against production databases)
– Dedicated Environment (for example, a data warehouse)
