I B M h a s p or t e d around in the ’80s when IBM released DB2* for MVS may m a n y pr o d uc t s to t he S y s te m z pl at for m , s uc h remember it was touted as the database for reporting a s t he M a s te r Data M a nage me nt Se r ve r a nd t he systems, the forerunner of today’s data warehouses. In Information Server family along with Cognos* 8 BI. fact, the first data mart I built used DB2 for MVS and Query Management Facility (QMF). We all know what happened in the last couple of decades with the coming of distributed systems and client/server computing: The InfoSphere Warehouse V9.5.2 mainframe was declared dead. Data warehouses and data IBM InfoSphere Warehouse V9.5.2 on System z became marts were moved to less expensive systems–leaving only generally available April 10. InfoSphere Warehouse is the critical production systems on the mainframe. i n for mat ion m idd lewa r e t hat si mpl i f ies dataBut, two funny things happened. First, the mainframe warehousing deliver y and management on System z did not die and, in fact, System z* server usage is growing platforms. It provides the physical data modeling, extract, at a respectable pace. CIOs decided they didn’t want to risk load and transform (ELT) and multidimensional server their jobs moving critical business systems off of those f u n c t i o n s o n t o p of a n e x i s t i n g D B2 f or z / O S reliable, secure dinosaurs called mainframes. Second, infrastructure and forms the core of the data-warehousing these non-production systems, called data warehouses, environment. For some customers, this set of capabilities have become a critical asset to the corporation and data- may suffice for their data-warehousing needs. Others may warehouse information is rapidly being incorporated need more complex ETL and data cleansing, master-data into daily business processes. Business intelligence (BI) management or Cognos BI for the presentation layer. Now is no longer just for business analysts in the corporate you can extend the InfoSphere Warehouse solution to inoffice. BI analytical applications are increasingly being rolled out to the businesses line and are being integrated into everyday transactional business applications. FIGURE 1 DESIGN STUDIO The term operational BI is used to describe this trend. There’s now a growing trend to move data warehouses back to the platform that has housed critical business systems for more than 45 years, the mainframe. Warehouses are coming back home. IBM is developing tools to help build, manage and utilize the mainf r a me a s a data-wa r e hou se env i ron ment. I BM updated DB2 for z / OS * V8 a nd V9 to include SQL f unctions deemed necessar y in a data warehouse.
