Technology Innovation:DB2 on Linux Available Editions

Source: ibm.com/db2/linux/validate

9 Same code base across all Linux, UNIX, and Windows operating systems

9 Rigorous interoperability testing to ensure the quality of Linux distributions, third-party software, and third-party hardware

9 Adherence to standard Linux kernel ABI: No need to recompile any part of the kernel, no custom kernel modules

9 Auto-tune kernel parameters: No need for complex system administration

9 DB2 9 automatically sets Linux kernel parameters for best system performance

References: DB2 optimized for SAP on LinuxLinux offers far-reaching advantages in cost and performance, and we are impressed with IBMs clear commitment. The combination of DB2 with xSeries on Linux offers the best performance, reliability and manageability available for our CRM environment.

Bernd Morlock, Computer Scientist, Grohe AG & Co. KG

With Linux, we are opening up all possibilities: the simple administration, and the stability and scalability convince everyone. These features are best exploited on the xSeries servers. Thats the reason for our goal: a server IT landscape running entirely under Linux on xSeries servers. The decision to deploy DB2 was a strategic one. The database is fully scalable, is ideally suited to our requirements, and shows its full potential under Linux.Georgios Paltoglou, IT Manager, Element-System Rudolf Bohnacker GmbH

"We are pleased with our decision to migrate SAP from Oracle to DB2 Linux running on x-Series. One of our users asked why we hadn't migrated sooner; reports that took 6 hours are now completing in less than 20 minutes. Each DB2 release continues to reinforce our migration decision and with DB2 V8.2.2 we look forward to even higher levels of performance within our SAP application.

Mike Zeleniak, Information Systems Manager, Teck Cominco Metals Ltd.

Within the company, we only use DB2, as we have previously had positive experience of DB2 on our host systems and we have the expertise in-house. Therefore, from a technical point of view, the decision to use DB2 as the database for the Linux solution was easy.

Andreas Piellusch, IT Service Center at Peek & Cloppenburg, Hamburg
