• IT infrastructure platform cost is
the biggest recurring cost for
enterprises
• On-prem RDBMs represents one
of the most expensive recurring
expenses for enterprise IT
organizations.
• It is necessary to innovate and to
be able to innovate you look at
different deployment options ie

How IBM Informix on Cloud can help

© 2016 IBM Corporation 10
As a CTO, I need to be able to quickly and inexpensively add additional development and test
instances of Informix to support our product development and release goals.
As a software engineer, I need another large instance of an Informix database for stress testing our
new application. None of our current test environments are large enough to effectively test this
application.
As a manager, I want my team to try the latest version of Informix without impacting any of my
current systems and without going through a long budget approval process.
As a developer, I want to try out new features in Informix like NoSQL and the REST API, but I
currently don’t have access to a version with these features.
As a DBA, I want to experiment with Informix’s clustering, replication, and sharding technologies to
see how they might help my business.

What is IBM Informix on Cloud
The latest Informix server
on a machine in a SoftLayer data center,
fulfilled quickly,
billed monthly,
accessible on the Internet,
dedicated to you,
entirely in your control.

Decisions & Responsibilities
What decisions do I need to make?
the size
the DataCenter, e.g Dallas, London, Sydney
how many machines
requested delivery date
You don’t get a choice about the version of Informix, OS, etc.
What is IBM responsible for?
Fulfilling the order; IBM provides you with an account on Bluemix if necessary, obtains the machine from
SoftLayer, installs and configures Informix, and makes the machine accessible to you.
What am I, IBM’s customer, responsible for?
Any and all administration of the OS, network, database, etc.
Installing, configuring, and/or running applications, creating a schema, etc.
You have complete control over and flexibility to use the system to serve your business.

Upon receiving the machine: access documentation on Bluemix
© 2016 IBM Corporation 18
Upon receiving the machine: Log in for the first time
When logging into the machine for the first time, you will immediately be required to change your
password.
You’re the only one that knows the password now. You have complete control over the system.
IBM does not log in.
$ ssh [email protected]
[email protected]'s password:
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Changing password for root.
(current) UNIX password:
New password:
Retype new password:
[root@myinformixhost ~]#
© 2016 IBM Corporation 19
Ongoing use of the machine: administration
You have full power and responsibility to administer the machine.
Administer the machine just like you do machines in your current data center/office. This includes:
Applying patching to the OS
Backing up the machine and the Informix server
Installing and/or updating any software
Configuring the firewall
Managing OS accounts
Upgrading Informix
Transferring data to/from the system
Configuring clients to connect to Informix
Changing ONCONFIG settings, adding db/sbspaces, etc.

Initial Configuration of Machine
We’ve made some decisions about the initial configuration of the OS, Informix, etc. This is your
machine, so change whatever you like to fit the needs of your business.
Informix version: 12.10.FC7W2AEE
We plan to fulfill orders using the latest available Informix release. So at some point new orders will be
fulfilled using 12.10.FC8.
OS: CentOS 7 (currently 7.2.1511)
File system:
/ for os
/data for dbspaces, logs, etc.
OS accounts:
root, only customer knows password
informix, initially configured without a password

Initial Configuration of Machine
Product locations
$INFORMIXDIR /home/Informix/server
WL /opt/ibm/wire_listener
IWA /opt/ibm/iwa Only .tar; not configured
Firewall à la iptables allows traffic:
SSH (22)
SQLI over SSL (9089)
DRDA over SSL (9091)
Mongo over SSL (27018)
REST over SSL aka HTTPS (443)
Informix and Wire Listener configured with a self-signed certificate
Informix also listens for non-SSL traffic:
SQLI (9088)
DRDA (9090)
Mongo (27017)
REST, aka HTTP (80)
© 2016 IBM Corporation 22
Configuring Remote Client Connectivity
All traffic goes over the internet
Highly recommend that all traffic be encrypted
Documentation for using SSL with SQLI, DRDA, Mongo, and REST at Bluemix

All the Good Stuff We Love About Informix
SQL-processing speed machine
Low administration
Full spectrum of replication solutions
Cluster with three secondary types
Enterprise Replication
TimeSeries for efficient storage and querying
Accelerate queries with in-memory, columnar IWA
REST API
NoSQL functionality that developers love
JSON data
MongoDB client compatibility

Have a problem with Informix (e.g. AF)?
Have a problem with physical infrastructure (e.g. disk, memory, network)?

As a CTO, I need to deploy our solution in a distant geography we’ve never done business in
before.
As a project manager, I need to have an Informix database environment that both my developers
and individual beta customers can easily access. My developers are creating a Proof of Concept
and my customer will access it.
As a DBA, I need to have an offsite copy of our Informix database for the purpose of disaster
recovery.
As an architect, I want to prototype Informix Warehouse Accelerator with my application as my
customers are asking for performance improvements on various queries in our application. With
our Workgroup Edition, I don’t have access to IWA.

Want something more? Something different?
Do you want something else from this IBM offering?
Please give us your feedback!
For example:
Can I order a multi-machine cluster?
Can IBM help me transfer data to and from the machine using e.g. Aspera?
I’d like IBM to be responsible for backing up the Informix server.
I wish this would integrate with technology xyz.
I’d like faster fulfillment.
