<h1>Informix-Online XPS</h1>

Informix-Online XPS is a multithreaded, parallel database architecture
that parallelizes all major  database  activities including both  data
manipulation operations   (such as scans,    sorts, and  joins),   and
database administration  operations  (such as  index builds,  backups,
recoveries, loads,  and unloads).  XPS runs  on most parallel computer
architectures including SMP clusters. <p>

The eXtended Parallel Server  (XPS) is built on the  code base of what
is  called Informix  XMP  (eXtended MultiProcessor)  which in turn  is
based on the Informix Online Dynamic Server Architecture (DSA).<p>
