DB2 pureScale reduces the risk and cost of business growth by providing unlimited capacity, continuous availability, and application transparency. DB2 pureScale on IBM Power Systems incorporates PowerHA pureScale technology to deliver levels of database scalability and availability unmatched on Unix or x86 systems. This complements DB2 for z/OS and System z, the undisputed leader in total system availability, scalability, security and reliability.
Unlimited Capacity
DB2 pureScale provides practically unlimited capacity for any transactional workload. Scaling your system is simply a matter of connecting a new node and issuing two simple commands. DB2 pureScale’s cluster-based, shared-disk architecture reduces costs through efficient use of system resources.
Application Transparency
With DB2 pureScale, you don’t need to change your application code to efficiently run on multiple nodes. Thanks to a proven, scalable architecture, you can grow your application to meet the most demanding business requirements. You can also run applications written for other database software with little or no changes; DB2 offers native support for commonly used syntax and PL/SQL procedure language, making it easier than ever to move from Oracle database to DB2.
Continuous Availability
DB2 pureScale provides continuous availability through the use of highly reliable IBM PowerHA pureScale technology on IBM Power systems and a redundant architecture. The system recovers nearly instantaneously from node failures, immediately redistributing the workload to surviving nodes.
