A fundamental principle of DB2 Universal Database is that data can and should reside wherever it makes the most sense.
DB2 is available for multiple operating systems, including Linux, UNIX, Windows, OS/400, and z/OS. This means that decisions can be made based on which operating system is right for a specific portion of the data.
With DB2, you can distribute and access data across a network of systems. Users can query, add, delete, and update data in local and remote databases.
