Our complimentary one-day seminar will show you how others have made a smooth and successful upgrade to DB2® for z/OS® Version 8 – and optimized their environment as well as give you an overview of what will be delivered with DB2 9 for z/OS.
As a System z™ user, you have seen the creation of huge stores of corporate data and knowledge on your mainframe. You may also have witnessed the proliferation of disjointed data on disparate servers in end-user departments. Today, mainframe IT teams are being asked to take back responsibility for that corporate data. Unfortunately, it comes with increased complexity and higher costs due to multiple data sources. Along with it, you have the pressure to reduce costs, manage that complexity, meet compliance requirements and improve speed of delivery of that data to users. This presentation will show how the unique capabilities of System z, along with IBM’s Information Management portfolio, can help you meet these demands. |

If you’re responsible for database performance and availability, it’s likely you have a long list of related priorities: Business resilience demands, the integration of new and existing application workloads and how to manage them, handling issues with international applications. These are all important reasons to upgrade to Version 8. In this session you will learn from key DB2 developers how to best prepare for a DB2 Version 8 upgrade. You’ll come away with hints and tips and lessons learned from the upgrade experiences of IT professionals like you. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet key IBM DB2 specialists, and ask them questions directly. |

Now you can deliver cost savings without sacrificing performance or availability. That’s because DB2 for z/OS Version 8 has been optimized as a data server for new and existing workloads. Version 8 improvements include enhanced scalability, application porting, security, architecture and continuous availability. Management for very large databases has been made much easier, while 64-bit virtual storage support makes management simpler and improves scalability and availability. This new version breaks through many old limitations in the definition of DB2 objects, including SQL improvements, online schema evolution, longer names for tables and columns, longer SQL statements, enhanced Java and Unicode support, and many more advantages. In this session you’ll learn how to use all of these new features and functions to optimize your Version 8 environment and get ready for DB2 9 for z/OS. |
