	Smarter Planet meets GREEN IT for Big Energy Savings
	We used IBM Tivoli Energy Management to monitor energy consumption of an IBM p570 Server with 16 CPUs. See how proper DB2 LUW database tuning can lower energy costs by 24-44% or more, improve ability to optimize existing IT assets, avoid or defer hardware upgrades, dramatically cut software licensing costs by over $1.3M in a sample scenario, and improve productivity and profitability by reducing response times by over 99%. Watch how this server struggles to support 50 users at 100% CPU busy, then minutes later easily supports 743 users at 11% CPU busy. DBI's Brother-Panther for DB2 LUW Performance Monitoring, Tuning, and Trending is used to obtain these outstanding performance results! DBI Software is an ISV that provides automated performance management and auditing software solutions for IBM DB2 LUW and Oracle databases. DBI is an IBM Advanced, Industry Optimized, Business Partner that works closely with the IBM Toronto Lab and Innovation Centers. DBI's has earned distinguished
