IBM Hopes to Nail EMC With Storage 'Venom'
Tutorial Details:
IBM next week will attack EMC after watching its long-time rival encroach on its data management territory for the last two years.
The company Monday will unveil a storage compression software, code-named Venom, designed to help customers cut their storage hardware costs and usage in half, according to an IBM note obtained by internetnews.com.
Venom, which IBM adapted from its mainframe machines, boosts CPU and memory bandwidth of servers by compressing rows of data.
"IBM's information management software business is going after EMC, which, due to its recent acquisition of software companies like Documentum, is increasingly competing against IBM in software, not just storage hardware."
Venom, designed for Windows, Linux and Unix systems, works by allowing database administrators to use row compression for compressing data objects in multidimensional clusters. Row compression offers disk, input/output and memory savings for large tables with repetitive data patterns.
The news comes at an interesting time for IBM and EMC, fierce competitors in the market for managing data in a world where compliance regulations force businesses to hunker down and protect and serve their data.
