Analyst Quote - Joe Clabby, Clabby IBM's Smarter Systems Announcement at Almaden"I got a competitive overview of the business application and database markets from both the customer’s, as well as IBM’s perspective...According to these customers, when moving from Oracle’s database to IBM’s DB2, they are finding that they are able to recover 40% of their database disk space. 40 PERCENT! Dwell on this number. This means that enterprises that have spent $20 million for database storage could have saved $8 million in storage costs if they used IBM DB2."
