IDUG AU 2025

Join the Db2 architects as they cover an overview of this significant new version of Db2 – Db2 12.1.0 and planned ModPaks such as Db2 12.1.1 and Db2 12.1.2. In this session the key highlights of Db2 12.1 will be covered as well as a sneak peak on what is to come through 2025.

Data today is dynamic, distributed and in high demand as data holds critical information to help organizations make informed business decisions, recommendations, and predications to stay competitive and to provide a better customer experience. All this information is stored in a data repository either on-premises or in the cloud, and native approaches to support security and compliance can be operationally complex and don’t ensure data confidentiality. In this presentation, we will take technical deep dive on how to accomplish automated data discovery, classification, real-time activity monitoring and machine learning analytics to understand, detect and respond to suspicious activity, and discuss the different scalable architectures for monitoring and protecting your data. The session will also emphasis on how you can protect your databases and data against insider and external attacks by understanding how to leverage capabilities such as alerting, blocking, and quarantining users and/or processes of suspicious behaviour. In addition, we will demonstrate how to help your organization support audit and compliance activities for APP, PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA and many more. This session will be valuable for novice to seasoned experts that are looking to learn, design and implement a solid data protection model for data across the enterprise.

Now that we have delivered Db2 12.1 to the market – it’s an excellent time to take a holistic look at the baseline of high value capabilities in place leading in to Db2 12.1. This includes capabilities to support a Lake House, new security capabilities, schema level administration capabilities, optimizations for variable data types, the technology preview of the AI optimizer, AI capabilities, multi-model capabilities and much more. This is an overall summary of 11.5.4 through 11.5.9 inclusively.

It is time to modernize your analytical workload to meet the demands of your growing data volumes, price-performance requirements, or application modernization needs. This session will cover the new enhancements that have been made to Db2 warehouse solution and will also take a look at post v12.1 enhancements, which will further push the envelope on capabilities and performance in the warehouse space.
