Free trainings on using DB2 with BLU Acceleration

Many of you know that IBM is offering free trainings on Information Management products, so-called bootcamps, to business partners. Two new classes have been added that cover solely DB2 with BLU Acceleration:

• "Optimize BI - Analytics on DB2 10.5 with BLU Acceleration and focus on Cognos Bootcamp" - the title is almost as long as the 2 day bootcamp itself... It gives a deep dive into the BLU Acceleration technology and shows how DB2 fits into analytic scenarios
• "DB2 BLUcamp for SAP BW" is a one day workshop that introduces the BLU Acceleration technology and then details how to use it in a SAP environment

The new technology is also covered in some existing bootcamps. The regular "DB2 for Linux, UNIX, Windows Bootcamp" has an overview. The former DB2 Performance Bootcamp is now called "Performance Monitoring and Tuning for DB2 10.5 with BLU Acceleration for Linux, UNIX, and Windows" and discusses best practices from a monitoring and tuning perspective for BLU.

Business Partners can sign up using the registration links on the individual bootcamp pages. Free product certifications are usually offered at the end of a training session.
