IBM RedBook 
Embedding IBM Informix

Abstract:

In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we discuss and describe the capabilities for embedding Informix® into applications and software. We introduce the technological architecture and describe several of the functions and features that support Informix as a robust and powerful embeddable DBMS. Many of these features are unique in the industry today, enabling clients to create a business advantage.

The Informix database server can support the requirements of an embeddable DBMS, and is doing so for many companies today. The low administration requirements of the Informix database server enable clients to deploy thousands of Informix instances, embedded in applications in locations where there are no technical resources to support the database. The real requirement is for applications with embedded databases that require little or no administration, take minimum storage resources, have excellent performance, and are highly reliable.

Cisco and IBM Informix Database Software
Enhancing Collaboration

Cisco chose to embed IBM Informix® database
software in their solutions because of the robust
embeddability, high reliability, and extreme
performance of Informix.

This white paper addresses a number of the features and techniques Cisco uses to embed Informix in its solutions, and why.
It also highlights some of Informix’s newer features. The white paper is divided into six sections, each corresponding to the different tasks involved in the embedding process.

Informix Enterprise Data Management
for the Internet-of-Things

Informix Chat with the Lab Webinar

The amount of technical devices which share data through a network rises explosively. Gartner predicts for the year 2020 30 billion connected devices. The different ways with which they communicate with each other will automatize our every-day-life further - accompanied by a flood of permanently new produced data that has to be hold in readiness.

The Informix Chat with the Lab Webinar of the 25.03.2014 deals in excellent manner with this topic. So we decided to make a part of the presentation accessible to you on our site.

Take a look into the basics of the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Experience which changes for companies - but also in the private environment - will appear through the proceeding automating and why Informix the predestined data base for IoT is.

To this topic two videos have been uploaded recently to the IBM Informix Channel to which we hint here: (YouTube IBM Informix Channel - Internet-of-Things with IBM Informix)
The Chat with the Lab recordings are published regularly by the IBM in the Developer Works Wiki. There you can access further presentations (Chat wih the Lab).

Build an app to read sensor data and predict failure using Informix TimeSeries service

Michael Chris Golledge - Advisory Software Engineer IBMdeveloperWorks article - 10 July 2014

IBM Bluemix provides an easy-to-use platform for developing a solution involving sensors, database storage (in the TimeSeriesDatabase), server-side analytics, and a monitoring application to warn the customer if trouble appears to be imminent. This demonstration is a simple simulation of a refrigerator, cloud-based storage and analytics, and monitoring software to alert the user if the device is approaching unsafe temperature limits. Use the tools described here to build a similar solution to solve a real problem you're facing.
