A new sub-capacity pricing plan was announced in February that makes it more affordable to run IDS in virtualized environments.

All editions of IDS are now available and supported in a virtualized environment. Sub-capacity pricing is now available to all IDS V11.50 editions and corresponding components, helping you reduce costs and maximize your investments with server consolidation and reduced administration. IBM is responding to your tremendous interests in high availability and business continuity. With IDS V11.50, you will be able to deploy High-availability Data Replication (HDR) with no additional feature charge for the Workgroup Edition, deploying up to two secondary servers in either Idle standby or Hot active read mode. Hot active secondary servers are now eligible for sub-capacity pricing on the Processor Value Unit metric.

To cut a long story short, it means you can deploy IDS in virtualized environments without having to purchase licenses for the entire server. You can purchase Processor Value Units (PVU) up to the number of cores needed within a socket or a server. For example, if you are running IDS in a virtual machine that has a single CPU core allocated you'd purchase an appropriate IDS edition (say, Express) and 50 PVU's. If the virtual machine instance had 10 CPU cores allocated you might purchase Enterprise Edition and 500 PVU's.

Refer to the announcement for all the details: Addition of sub-capacity parts for IBM DB2 LUW, and IBM Informix Dynamic Server.

The Zend Developer Zone has a new article called Migrating applications from PHP 4 to Zend Core 2.5 with support for IBM Informix on Linux Platform. The article, by Antonio Musarra, describes how to build the Informix module with PHP 5.2.5, which is the version that comes with Zend Core 2.5.

As Ambrish Bhargava points out in the comments section of the article, there is a PHP PDO extension for Informix available on the PECL website: http://pecl.php.net/package/pdo_informix.

This week I managed to listen to most of Veronica Gomes' and Dennis Allen's Chat with the Labs on integrating Informix with SolidDB and was glad I did. It was packed with useful information.

Incidently, if you ever need slides for any of the chat with the lab series, including the latest one, you can download them from here: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/labchats/. The audio replays appear here after some time as well.

If you're interested in developing PHP applications that integrate with SolidDB, you could do worse than read this developerWorks article: Building dynamic Web page applications using PHP and IBM solidDB by Abhinay Nagpal, Gaurav Mehrotra and Yogesh Gawali.
