Datawarehousing with Informix
A poster asked what IBM Informix offers for building a data warehouse at his company. One reply outlined the options: XPS for very large warehouses (banks, telcos, insurers), while standard IDS is adequate for small-to-medium warehouses, plus associated ETL tools and training courses, with the claim that Informix had long been strong in warehousing. No specific product list, benchmarks, or follow-up discussion appears, so the thread ends with this general advice rather than a concrete recommendation.

Yeah, XPS if you are planning on a seriously large warehouse, for example in a bank, insurance company, telco, etc etc etc. The regular IDS engine however can do an excellent warehouse for small to medium businesses. As for the ETL phase, Informix is associated with some quite sophisticated tools that can assist greatly. There are some excellent training courses too if you are beginners, or plan on training new staff. Informix took warehousing more seriously than the other vendors for a longer time, so you'll generally find it's more advanced than the other offerings.
