IBM, SAP Integrate In-Memory Analytics
SAP (NYSE: SAP) has integrated its in-memory HANA (High-Performance Analytic Appliance) with IBM’s (NYSE: IBM) DB2 database. As noted on Reseller News, this move underscores the companies’ increasing alignment against rival Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) and its Exadata platform.
