Administration Costs
DB2 automates many database administration tasks. As a result, DB2 users are reporting significant savings on database administration costs.
DB2 is...
Self-optimizing: automatically reacting to changes in workloads to adjust memory and optimize system performance.
Self-healing: automatically resolving a wide range of problems as they arise. DB2 can even resolve some problems before they arise, by anticipating them and taking the appropriate corrective actions.
Self-configuring: automatically setting up the system and managing configuration settings.
Also, Integrated Data Management solutions for the DBA can help you further streamline and simplify your daily DBA tasks.
What people are saying
"Our clients have come to expect superior system performance and availability. I recently received a call from a client asking what kind of magic we are using. By enabling the DB2 Self-Tuning Memory Manager (STMM). the system has almost real-time responses with simple queries and five to ten times faster response times on more complex reports. We were happy to take the credit, but IBM has definitely unleashed a very powerful tool."
-Michel Esber, R & D Manager, Automatos
"It´s hard to believe, but we only have 3 DBAs supporting over 100 instances of DB2. We didn´t even consider Oracle for this application because the administration costs would be prohibitive. Some of our proprietary applications require Oracle databases, but it takes two DBAs just to manage three instances of Oracle."
- Phil Kilgore, Director of Technical Services, Lithonia Lighting
