DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition for Linux on S/390

DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition for Linux on S/390 provides you with the ability to exploit the benefits of DB2 and Linux on the IBM zSeries (390) hardware. You can perform administrative functions, such as backup and recovery, with reduced cost and overhead. DB2 also provides the reliability that high-speed internet transactions require. DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition is available on 32-bit Intel-based Linux and Linux on S/390.

DB2 Universal Database Enterprise - Extended Edition on Linux

DB2 Universal Database Enterprise - Extended Edition (DB2 EEE) on Linux makes query performance unparalleled and more powerful than before. DB2 EEE on Linux adds the power of DB2's shared-nothing architecture to Linux, allowing you to cluster Linux machines for scalability.

Configuring DB2 EEE to execute in a shared-nothing architecture means that each Linux machine has exclusive access to its own disks and memory, and does not compete with other machines for resources. Being able to partition a database across multiple machines with DB2 EEE allows you to perform complex parallel processing operations on platforms such as AIX, HP-UX, Windows NT, Linux, and the Solaris Operating Environment.

The cost-based query optimizer, provided by DB2 EEE, determines the most efficient way to handle multiple, complex queries, and selects an execution plan that has the lowest overhead. Response time for both decision support and online transaction processing (OLTP) is fast and cost effective.
