Millions of Informix deployments around the world support hundreds of thousands of businesses, often unseen by the customer. Informix supports thousands of retailers, most telecom service providers and many others, helping them ensure seamless and superior customer service.
Businesses which make smart and maximum use of their data win on the competitive stage, and Informix helps companies ensure that their data directly supports their business agility and performance.
Informix is a database which is guaranteed to perform, requires little maintenance and is so reliable that many thousands of companies rely on it to get the best from their data. It is more cost-effective to run because higher performance means fewer servers, and its ‘set it and forget it’ reputation is well-earned because it requires far less database administration than competing enterprise database solutions. Fewer servers also means less energy and lower running costs, and can help towards reducing your carbon footprint.
Informix solutions are flexible, highly customisable and can suit both small businesses and large. They can be scaled up or out to support business growth. And best of all, they can enable you to create a heterogeneous grid to maximise performance from different server hardware and software, all controlled through Informix Flexible Grid, freeing companies from being locked in to a single database or hardware vendor.
Informix Flexible Grid which is new in version 11.7 makes it easy to perform routine maintenance and upgrades at all your locations from a single site – with zero downtime and in a multiplatform environment. It offers unparalleled cost-savings thanks to lower upfront licensing costs than its competitors, and operational costs are significantly lower with far fewer DBAs required than with any other database. Even storage costs are minimised, with up to 80% savings on disk space through Informix’s data compression technology. It is designed from the ground up for easy, scaleable administration and hassle-free management, and in many cases will simply be invisible within an application or enterprise solution. It installs easily and quickly, and can be up and running in minutes rather than days or weeks, and from then requires almost zero administration.
Oninit and its partners can help businesses create value and reduce costs by migrating data to Informix or building new Informix applications, either individually as part of a legacy application modernisation process or to enable server consolidation prior to transition to a cloud computing environment. Oninit offers a range of Services which enable customers to engage as much or as little help as they need to get Informix working for their business and access that help in cost-effective ways.
