IBM DB2 9.7 on Unix/Window/Linux provides you with an alternative answer. When compared to competing database software, it is more efficient, improves ease of maintenance and includes a wide range of leading-edge features that you do not have to pay extra for. That means you not only pay less for licenses and maintenance but enjoy better return on investment, reliability, scalability and performance. It also means you have extra cash reserves for other investments and staff productivity for improving your competiveness

| 2:15 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. | Latest overview of DB2 and its increasing momentum in HK |
IBM is addressing the challenges faced by today's business leaders in delivering greater returns on their IT investments with the introduction of new versions of IBM DB2. These deliver greater business value with lower storage costs, simplified administration, and guaranteed service levels. In this session you will learn how IBM customers reduced 30 percent of their storage costs and 50 percent of their license costs by switching to DB2. |
| 2:45 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. | Why moving to IBM eliminates Oracle compatibility worries | IBM DB2 9.7 enables applications written for other database software, such as Oracle Database, to run natively with little or no change. In this session you will understand how this feature can help clients to quickly take advantage of the inherent advantages of IBM DB2 using existing assets and skills, thus minimizing the risks and time required for migration. |
| 3:15 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. | Unlimited scalability with newest innovation in DB2 pureScale - shared-disk active-active | IBM DB2 pureScale allows the database to continue processing during most unplanned outages, providing nearly unlimited capacity for any transactional workload. To scale your system, all you have to do is simply connect to a new node and execute two simple commands. The cluster-based, shared-disk architecture of IBM DB2 pureScale also helps in reducing costs through more efficient use of system resources. In this session, you will learn how both of these benefits can allow organizations to scale their OLTP systems to meet business demands, while controlling data management costs. |
| 3:45 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Coffee Break | |
| 4:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. | Integration advantage of IBM Power Server | IBM Power Systems provide continuous availability through the use of highly reliable IBM PowerHA pureScale technology. In this session, you will learn how IBM Power Systems can recover nearly instantaneously from node failures, and immediately redistribute the workload to surviving nodes. |
| 4:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. | Delivering consistent data for real-time reporting, data synchronization and business resiliency | IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture enables high-performance, real-time data integration across diverse data stores and platforms. This tool can help integrate high volumes of data from production systems without impacting performance. In this session, you will explore ways to turn your data into trusted information. |
