I am a regular reader of the various Informix forums.  I follow closely any commentary that suggests that Informix has no future in the IBM portfolio or the competitive database market. I’ve been a part of the Informix team since 1993 and have had the mission to lead the Informix business since the assets were acquired by IBM back in 2001.  Our goal has been and continues to be to grow the Informix business.  We are constantly evaluating the market and making decisions regarding where we believe we can best leverage the Informix portfolio.  We align our investments so that we are best prepared to realize growth in these spaces.  

Versions 11.50 and 11.70 have been widely adopted.  Our Flexible Grid technology is proving to be an asset for both scale out as well as availability while dramatically simplifying administration and the In memory columnar Warehouse (Query) Accelerator adoption has grown rapidly.

I am happy to make either myself or another member of the team available to discuss the Informix commitment with you and your team.  

I hope you are all enjoying the Olympics.
