- DB2 pureScale helps you support business growth and reduce costs. Expand capacity whenever you need it.
- Backup compression capabilities reduce storage requirements, resulting in substantial cost savings.
- High availability disaster recovery helps keep your critical databases available and minimizes the costs of planned and unplanned downtime.
- Security and audit capabilities reduce the risk of unauthorized, undetected access to your organization’s data.
- Efficiency enhancements and autonomic tasks improve your team’s productivity.
XML database management with pureXML
- The pureXML feature integrates XML data intact into a relational database structure, allowing users to take full advantage of the relational database capabilities.
- The ability to manage both relational and XML data enables strong runtime performance and lowers storage and development costs.
Increase scalability with DB2 pureScale
- DB2 pureScale helps you manage online transaction processing (OLTP) applications on distributed systems.
- DB2 pureScale is highly reliable clustering technology. This feature improves data availability and provides scalability that is transparent to applications.
Reduce storage costs with compression capabilities
- Deep compression helps reduce data storage needs by providing data compression on backup systems, thus decreasing the use of expensive disk space.
- Since storage subsystems can easily exceed the cost of your data server, even a small reduction can result in substantial cost savings.
Minimize downtime with high availability
- Ensures critical databases remain available 24x7. DB2 High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HADR) allows failover from a primary or standby server to be accomplished quickly, resulting in minimal down time.
- An easy-setup utility guides you through the steps to set up and configure the primary and standby servers.
Security and audit capabilities protect your data
- Protects your data with authentication, encryption, and authorization checks.
- The audit facility monitors data access and keeps records of activities on the database system.
Productivity tools for developers and administrators
- Programming enhancements make it easier for non-DB2 developers to write applications for DB2 with their existing skills. Save time with procedure-building and debugging features.
- Automated tasks such as memory allocation, storage management, and business policy maintenance help free up database administrators (DBAs) to focus on strategic projects.
