IDS 11 scales perfectly on Linux
In a recent benchmark testing Informix Dynamic Server proved it's superb scalability once again. The test has been performed with IDS 11.10 running on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 64-Bit powered by an IBM System z model.
IDS 11.10 showed 20% better performance compared to IDS 9.40. Beside the performance advantage, IDS 11.10 demonstrated near linear scalability by being able to deploy 15.3 of total 16 CPU's productively. A great result that once again demonstrates the superiority of IBM's OLTP flagship data server and it's core multithreading technology.

They should have compared it

They should have compared it to 9.3 or still older in order to get even better results !
What about 10.0 ? (which might be "the state of the art" for many of us.)
IDS 11 scales perfectly on Linux
The measurements have been made 4 years ago when IDS 9.4 and zSeries 900 was state of the art.
I think it is also interesting that the combination of new HW zSeries 990 and new SW IDS 11 in 4 years approximately double your perforce without loosing the superb scalability!
I would suggest download IDS 11 and make the test in your environment!
