DB2 Viper brings to the table a significant advancement with its new compression feature. This feature allows databases to be compressed by 45% on average thus reducing storage costs and improving performance in many cases. In addition, backup images are now half the size and therefore backup/restore operations now finish in almost half the time and consume half the space. Multiply that by the number of backup images one keeps and the savings grow even larger. In addition, disaster recovery sites now require almost half the amount of storage as well. Looking at the cost of enclosures, controllers, power, cooling, floor space, etc., one can quickly see that DB2 Viper Compression can save a significant amount of money for the enterprise.
