    From Dennis Lukas Mayer:

    On August 3, 2021 we officially announced the End of Service date for IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator Version 5 and 6 with an effective date on April 30, 2023.  You can read the announcement letter here: www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/...

     

    We hope that this isn't a surprising date for you, as we spoke about this "unofficially" on multiple occasions in the past. The date is in line with the End of Service date for the PureData System for Analytics N3001 generation appliances (aka Netezza or "Mako"), which is the only hardware currently in support for Version 5 / 6 of the Accelerator. 

     

    The replacement program for Version 5 and 6 is the latest Accelerator Version 7.5.x. This will require a new investment in Z IFLs, either on IBM Z or on LinuxONE, as the second deployment option for Version 7.5 called IBM Integrated Analytics System (IIAS), was withdrawn from marketing on June 30, 2021. You can read the announcement here: www.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/...

     

    In case you have questions about this announcements, please contact us directly. Of course we are also here to help you with your journey to the latest Accelerator version.
