Web Wombat, one of Australia's largest search engines, may have begun small, but its growth trajectory has been positively explosive. They found that they needed an enterprise data management solution in place of our existing Paradox database, hardware with much more processing power and a good deal more bandwidth. The original database has since been replaced by a one-terabyte data warehouse built on IBM DB2 Universal Database for AIX, Version 5.2. One IBM RS/6000 S80 server and one RS/6000 Workstation 43P (260) server give it all the processing muscle it needs, and a 10Mbps fiber-optic link allows the search engine spiders to trawl the Web endlessly for more sites to index.
