The downward trend of solid state drive (SSD) prices is driving database adoption of flash storage technology. This session will examine two use cases with SSD, covering OLTP (2TB) and warehouse (76TB) environments. The topics will include performance gains, throughput, and implementation practices.

Bio: Huy Ly is an Information Management Technical Specialist at IBM for 15 years. He has a keen interest in system performance, finding patterns in data, and data encryption. He is currently looking for an opportunity to implement the next 'Frankenserver' - DB2 BLU on SSD.

systems and offerings including the Smart Analytics and PureData for Operational Analytics. He currently runs the IBM DB2 cloud strategy with an emphasis of how IBM DB2 BLU acceleration plays in the stratosphere of this space. His personal goal is to turn IBM upside down or at the very least, orthogonal to drive value with our customers.
