Strategic Differentiation – Informix TimeSeries
A New Meter Data Management (MDM) Performance Benchmark
WHO
– IBM
– AMT-SYBEX (IBM Business Partner; provider of
solutions for Energy & Utility companies

WHAT
– Joint benchmark test of AMT-SYBEX’s MDM
solution (Affinity MeterFlow) using IBM Informix
TimeSeries software to manage smart meter data
– Tests conducted using a single IBM POWER7®
system, utilizing 16 cores.

WHEN and WHERE
– Performed at the IBM Power Systems Benchmark
Center; Montpellier, France
– August 2011



MDM Benchmark Demonstrates Business Value

Faster processing of meter data means faster
business processes that use that data
– Achieved daily billing calculations of 21,000 bills per
minute while concurrently running the data load

Significant reduction in storage requirements
– Total storage required for one month of interval and
register data for 100 million meters was less than 4TB
– Average throughput exceeded 420,000 records per
second in meter data load using standard storage disks

Consistent, scalable performance yields highly
predictable costs
– Daily end-to-end processing times remained constant
for 100 million meters over a 31-day period,
irrespective of the amount of data stored –Storage
requirements remained linear over time



Informix TimeSeries – Success with leading MDM providers
http://smart-grid... http://www.metering.com/node/20062

MDM offers scalability to 100 million smart meters

. “We feel that the Informix “Performance testing results of
TimeSeries technology lends AMT-SYBEX’s Affinity Meterflow
itself extremely well to the meter data management (MDM)
performance characteristics, data application using IBM Informix
types and high-volume TimeSeries software has

generation of smart metering and offer linear scalability up to 100
smart grid applications.” million meters to load and

SugarCRM
SugarCRM has quickly grown to become one of the
most widely used CRM platforms on the market.
Informix port delivers unlimited database scalability for popular SaaS applications.
Delivers enhanced ability to create and manage large SugarCRM databases without impacting
performance even for extremely large systems.
Using SugarCRM on Informix also simplified and sped up the data upload process. Tests
showed that large amounts of records can be uploaded in minutes, as opposed to hours they
experienced with competitor database.

States John Baker, Managing Director of Oninit Group: “After several months of development in partnership
with systems integrator i2Global, we are delighted to see SugarCRM running efficiently on Informix. With
the demand for SaaS increasing, it made business sense to demonstrate Informix’s perfect suitability for
the job. Delivering SugarCRM on Informix shows that it can easily power a major SaaS application. It
offers unlimited growth, outstanding performance and is the ideal platform for creating and managing
heavily populated databases.”

SQL OLAP Functions (Windowed Aggregates)
•ANSI SQL analytics functions
•Helps create running totals, aggregates based on custom partition,
window and order for each aggregate.
•Simplify the expression of complex but commonly used business
questions and are efficient without resorting to subqueries or other
calculations
•Avoids need for complex SQL involving multiple derived tables and
joins and hence improves query performance.

The OLAP functions supported by Informix are as follows:
Ranking RANK(), DENSE_RANK(), DENSERANK(),
CUME_DIST(), PERCENT_RANK(), NTILE()
Numbering ROW_NUMBER(), ROWNUMBER()
Aggregate RATIO_TO_REPORT, RATIOTOREPORT
First/Last FIRST, LAST



Window Partition Example
Select date, store_name, sum(dollars) as sales_dols,
rank () over (partition by date order by sales_dols desc) as date_rank
from period, store, sales
where period.perkey = sales.perkey
and store.storekey = sales.storekey
and state = “CA”
group by date, store_name
order by date;

Primary Storage Manager (PSM)

•Easy way to configure OnBar to take backups and restores
•Easy way for embedded solutions to take parallel backups using OnBar
•Easy way for Ontape customers to migrate to OnBar
•Replaces ISM



Row Oriented Data Store

• Optimized for record I/O
• Fetch and decompress entire
row, every time
• Result –
• Very efficient for
transactional workloads
• Not always efficient for
analytical workloads

If only few columns are required the complete
row is still fetched and uncompressed

Columnar Data Store (Conceptual View)

• Data is compressed

•Aids sequential

•Slows random

If attributes are not required for a specific query
execution, they are skipped completely.

How do I compress a table?
Using OAT

11/16/2012 Template Presentation - Session Z99 55


Index Compression
Up to now, Informix only offered data, i.e. table compression
Primary goal for Index Compression:
–Scans require less I/O
–More data fits into buffer cache
Syntax:
create compressed index …
|--+-DISTINCT-+ ‘CLUSTER-’ ‘COMPRESSED-’

• Compression only for leaf index nodes
• No Row ID (RID) compression
• Index entry is uncompressed (in memory) for comparison
• Dictionary based compression (same as table compression) to favor
key only scans found in most OLTP applications

11/16/2012 Put your data on a diet – C01 56


Automatic Compression – OAT Interface

11/16/2012 Template Presentation - Session Z99 57


Automatic (Table) Compression
Compression of data partitions (no index/blob compression)
Compress data rows as they are loaded
When a load exceeds a threshold (2000 rows as default), the
compression process starts (by building a dictionary)
All subsequent rows inserted will be compressed
Considerations:
Supports all loaders that use Inserts or Light Append
Light append – once dictionary is created, all rows will be
compressed (including old ones)
Normal Insert – compresses all subsequent rows after dictionary is
created
Syntax: CREATE TABLE …. COMPRESSED



Dynamic Configuration Tuning
-Provide system administrator facilities for Informix to configure and tune itself without
shutting down for changing a configuration parameter
-Provide developers a process to plug/unplug configuration parameters
-Onmonitor is retired
-Removed the following params:
-AFF_NPROCS, AFF_SPROCS, RA_THRESHOLD, BUFFERS, LRU_MIN_DIRTY,
LRU_MAX_DIRTY, LRUS, NOAGE, NUMAIOVPS, NUMCPUVPS, PHYSDBS,
JDKVERSION
-Adds onmode –wi
-Import params from a config file, modify params in the file that are tunable and
ignore others
-Adds onmode –we
-Export a “snapshot” of the current server config to a file that can be used as a config
file
-Adds onstat –g cfg
-Analyzes the Configuration Value (CV) table
-Additional Admin API tasks
-Execute function task(“modify config”, “<name>”, “<new value>”);
