InfoSphere Balanced Warehouse The new IBM InfoSphere Balanced Warehouse, C4000, accelerates delivery of business intelligence by incorporating Cognos 8 BI and InfoSphere Warehouse software. It also expands InfoSphere Balanced Warehouse C-class offerings to support warehouses up to 5TB of user data. InfoSphere Balanced Warehouse offerings provide pre-tested, scalable and fully integrated system components of IBM data warehouse software, server and storage technologies. The C-Class Balanced Warehouses offer small and medium-sized businesses a simple, complete solution for integrating and maintaining multiple data and information resources in a scalable and versatile data warehouse.
InfoSphere Balanced Warehouse features an updated interface to Cubing Services which provides a multidimensional view of data stored in a relational database. With Cubing Services, users can create, edit and deploy cube models over the relational warehouse schema. The new interface supports business queries generated from business intelligence tools or desktop software to the InfoSphere Warehouse allowing users to visualize and analyze data directly from the warehouse. By using the warehouse directly, users are always working with current data delivering more intelligence to more end-users, and in turn, enabling companies to make more insightful business decisions to stay ahead of the competition.
