PoC of IWA with Informix storage
optimization, and its great value to
Health Insurance systems
1
2. Abstract
This presentation will cover a PoC of Informix
Warehouse Accelerator, together with implementation
of storage optimization features in the Informix OLAP
engine, based on health insurance systems, made to
demonstrate the product capabilities to reduce
enterprise costs, ease administration, and lower the
report generation periods, compared to our market
competitors.
The idea of this PoC was to provide our company (Orizon
Brazil) a better product, with lower costs and higher
speed, to increase it´s portfolio of products, with
unmatched IT and information values to offer our
clients.

7. A little about IWA
• Designed with in-memory acceleration for
Informix DW databases, mixed or not with OLTP
data
• Introduced in 11.70.xC2, March 2011 – one node
only
• Last release 12.10.xC2, October 2013 – works on
multiple nodes, loading from single or multiple
clusters, TimeSeries acceleration, external tables
acceleration
• Hardware prerequisites: Linux 64 bits Intel box
with SSE3 (recommendation: separate box from
Informix engine)
7
8. A little about SOF
• Dictionary based for Informix databases
• Introduced in 11.50.xC4, May 2009 – basic data
types only, table data only
• Last release 12.10.xC2, October 2013 –
compression of B-tree indexes, simple large
objects, automatic data compression (xC1
features)
• License as a separated pack, available for Informix
Enterprise Edition
• Average of storage savings: around 70%
• Rather different from other engine vendors
8
9. Business and company needs
• Integrate all Orizon DWs, from different vendors
• Improve stability and speed, bringing economy and new
capabilities for company reports generation
• Informix and its best: stability, confidence, and low TCO
costs (cheaper at least 31% than SQL Server – published
September 2010)
• IWA proposed, migration of all DWs to Informix 12.10, plus
storage optimization to reduce storage usage and costs, so
a PoC was needed to prove Orizon needs
• Purpose of this PoC is not the best performance: lab for
demonstration purposes, for comparison (IWA) and storage
(SOF)
• Informix 12.10: index compression, Smart object
compression, NoSQL features, if needed
9
10. Implementation specs
• Hardware is HP Intel Blade Xeon (2 sockets),
product installed into a VM with 4 cores and
16GB of memory
• Informix 12.10.FC2TL on a two node VM cluster
(prim + SDS), running on a RHES 6.4 with GFS
clustering
• IWA on primary Informix node, NUM_NODES=4,
WORKER_SHM=9GB and
COORDINATOR_SHM=1GB
• Raw devices in a HP P4500 storage, with RAID
level 0
10
11. Implementation – numbers
• Historical health care OLAP database was
created, with one fact table and 8 dimensional
tables, more than 6 months of data are loaded
• Fact table with 14.9 million rows, populated
from production OLTP data for real results
output, demanding 496.83MB of storage
• OLAP database size is 1.01GB
• Load data mart timing (stop + load process):
1m5.815s

21. Conclusion
• IWA - higher value to our information services
– quicker report generations - increase our product
portfolio to our clients, a new perspective.
– Reports will run in seconds instead of hours
– Ease administration, on indexes/table reorgs,
installation was very simple
• Informix approx. 2 years savings in storage space
(OLAP size 3TB, in data, HP P4500 storage) :
– US$ 117K+ (compared to a market leader product
Engine2)
– US$ 97K+ (compared to another Engine1)
21
22. Conclusion
• In memory technology considerations
– Source data ammount does not impact result timings
• IWA licensing features
– Two brands of distribution packages
• Advanced Workgroup Edition: only PVU, 16 cores and
48GB of memory, neither include SOF nor HA/ER
• Advanced Enterprise Edition: full features
• Combination of IWA + SOF is absolutely a
“state of the art” for health insurance
systems.
