DB2 Enterprise Server Edition

Agility, efficiency and scalability with industry-leading database software

IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition is database server software that is designed to handle the demanding workloads of large and mid-sized enterprise servers. DB2 Enterprise Server delivers industry-leading performance across multiple workloads, while lowering administration, storage, development, and server costs. This edition runs on Linux, UNIX and Windows.

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

  • Uses pureXML to store, process, and manage XML data in its native format.
  • Delivers industry-beating benchmarks in performance, with high levels of security and scalability.
  • Autonomic features greatly reduce administration and maintenance expenses.
  • Data compression capabilities reduce storage requirements up to 80%.
  • Simplified development with multi-vendor support accelerates time to value.
  • Flexible licensing allows DB2 to be deployed in a virtualized environment.

XML database management with pureXML

  • The pureXML feature provides intelligent XML data management services that minimize administrative overhead, simplify your database design, and reduce the complexity of your XML applications.
  • Integrates XML data intact into a relational database structure, allowing users to take full advantage of DB2 relational data management features.
  • The ability to manage both relational and XML data enables strong runtime performance and lowers storage and development costs.

Strong performance, security and scalability

  • DB2 maintains high performance benchmarks for transaction and analytical processing. Businesses running DB2 can do more work with their existing hardware, avoiding costly server upgrades.
  • Offers a comprehensive suite of security features that effectively control unauthorized access to the database.
  • Available in DB2 Enterprise Server Edition V9.8, DB2 pureScale provides unlimited capacity for any transactional workload.

Autonomic processes and features

  • Automated tasks such as memory allocation and business policy maintenance free up database administrators to focus on activities that add more business value.
  • Automatic maintenance simplifies storage management by performing database backups, keeping statistics current and reorganizing tables and indexes.

Data compression and storage optimization

  • Compression capabilities can reduce storage needs up to 80 percent, resulting in substantial cost savings.
  • Keeps data compressed on both disk and memory, thereby reducing the amount of memory consumed. This can further improve database performance for queries and other operations.

Simplified development with multi-vendor support

  • With multi-vendor SQL and API support, non-DB2 application developers can ramp up quickly.
  • Provides full cross-vendor support for many application programming interfaces (APIs) such as JDBC, ODBC and .NET, as well as support for other SQL functions and data types.

Flexible virtual deployments

  • For businesses with multiple database servers not using full hardware capacity, virtualization is a good option. All aspects of DB2 can be deployed in a virtualized environment.
  • Virtualization offers many cost-saving benefits, including server consolidation, space savings, and reduced power and cooling expenses.
