The new IBM Common Data Provider (CDP) for z Systems, V1.1 provides for optimized integration with the DB2 Analytics Accelerator. The CDP can provide access to z/OS operational SMF log data in batch mode or in near-real-time streaming mode; it has been optimized for transforming and loading SMF log records directly into the Accelerator with DB2 for z/OS just containing schema definition (no SMF log data itself). This enables significant faster report generation via Tivoli Decision Support (TDS) for increased business agility. This presentation describes the architecture of this integrated IT operational analytics solution.

The DB2 Analytics Accelerator continues to evolve to support new and innovative use cases. DB2 Analytics Accelerator for z/OS on Cloud, Version 1.1 will deliver high-speed analysis of enterprise data while capitalizing on cloud agility, flexibility and ease of deployment. The Accelerator Version 6.1 will offer an integrated on-premise and cloud solution that can turn DB2 for z/OS into a hybrid cloud database management system capable of handling both transactional and analytical workloads and to scale them independently. In this session we give a technical overview of DB2 Analytics Accelerator V6 and DB2 Analytics Accelerator on Cloud V1.1 and cover architecture, capabilities and deployment options

In this session we review the capabilities of DB2 Analytics Accelerator on a technical level such as query acceleration, HPSS, Accelerator-only tables, Netezza Analytics stored procedures and loading data via DB2 Analytics Accelerator Loader. In addition we dig into usage scenarios benefitting from the various capabilities. We will cover usage examples for in-database transformation, in-database analytics and more. We will also cover the new support of R functions introduced with DB2 Analytics Accelerator V6
