DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition

The high-performance database with advanced features for demanding workloads

IBM DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition is database software that includes DB2, IBM Optim and IBM InfoSphere technologies in a single edition. This enterprise-class edition includes a suite of advanced development and optimization tools that help manage the most demanding requirements of complex database systems.

DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition improves performance and lowers costs with these comprehensive benefits:

The IBM DB2 pureScale feature, available in DB2 version 9.8, provides optimum scalability. Support business growth and expand capacity whenever you need it.
Deep compression capabilities can reduce your storage requirements up to 80%, reducing data storage costs.
Optimization and development tools support improvements in database performance and help teams to be more productive.
High availability features keep your critical databases available and provide rapid disaster recovery, minimizing the cost of downtime.
Advanced data security with label-based access control (LBAC) protects your data from unauthorized access.

Optimum scalability with DB2 pureScale

DB2 Advanced Server Edition V9.8 includes DB2 pureScale, which provides unlimited capacity for any transactional workload.
DB2 pureScale helps your team manage online transaction processing (OLTP) applications on distributed systems.

Deep compression capabilities

Deep compression capabilities help reduce data storage costs by giving you a variety of ways to compress data. You can also compress data on backup systems.
Integrated compression features improve server efficiency and performance, and include advanced copy services, connection concentrator technology and compression for backup and row level.

Built-in optimization and development tools

Application development flexibility features help existing DB2 applications to be built and modified quicker. These features also allow developers with Oracle SQL language skills to work easily with DB2.
Integrated tools help you set up and use adaptive workload management to ensure that system database resources are applied according to business priorities.
IBM Data Studio provides enhancements that help simplify installation and make it possible for your organization to experience customizable catalog navigation.
IBM Optim Development Studio can increase development efficiency up to 50%.
Programming tools help developers save time with procedure building, debugging, and cross-platform development.
The DB2 SQL Skin feature for applications compatible with Sybase ASE can greatly reduce the cost and risk of moving legacy applications to DB2.

High availability disaster recovery

Helps ensure that critical databases remain available 24x7. IBM DB2 High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) allows failover from a primary or standby server and requires little time to set up.
Offers queue-based data replication between multiple databases for additional high availability.

Advanced data security

Protects your data with authentication, encryption, and authorization checks.
Provides advanced data security with LBAC, which gives you the granularity to manage access to your tables at the row-level, column-level or both.
