Optimised storage utilization and increased further storage saving in DB2 Galileo

Two of the key features of DB2 Galileo (DB2 10 LUW) are Multi-temperature storage and Adaptive compression. Both features come with DB2 Enterprise and Advanced enterprise editions.

Multi-temperature storage can group your storage in hot, warm and cool storage groups. This feature is perfect if you have varying storage requirements. Hot data can be placed on the fastest and most expensive storage where cool data can be placed on a less expensive storage to save more cost.
Also, these storage groups features is integrated with WLM to control priorities of not only special users requests or types of queries but also the type of data. Hot data gets higher priority over warm and cool data.


DB2 has industry-leading compression technologies. As of Galileo, a new Adaptive compression technology was added to further save more storage. Adaptive compression delivers efficient compression ratio of higher volumes of data (new and changing data). The less the size of your data tuples, the more data can brought in memory and the less storage you need. The more data you have in memory the better response and performance you can get from your application.

These new features are wow, I like them ...

I'll talk about the resent security enhancements (LBAC/RCAC),
stay tuned ..
