DB2 is a Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS) originally introduced by IBM in 1983 to run on its MVS (Multiple Virtual Storage) mainframe platform. The name refers to the shift from the then prevalent hierarchical database model to the new relational model. Although DB2 was initially designed to work exclusively on IBM mainframe platforms, it was later ported to other widely used operating systems like UNIX, Windows and presently in Linux. DB2 is an integral part of IBM’s information management portfolio. It is a full-featured, high-performance database engine capable of handling large quantities of data and concurrently serving many users.
The DB2 DBA talent shortage is global; traditional outsourcing, therefore, is not a solution. Training is, at best, a long-term option. There are few university and corporate training opportunities for mainframe database administration skills and on-the-job apprenticeship programs take years to mature.
The solution to the clash between supply and demand is to dramatically improve productivity through scalable, automated process design and an expert managed services delivery model. dbaDIRECT offers this solution by providing operational excellence through 24×7 global coverage, customer specific SOPs, and 15 – minute response times. Regardless of your version or platform, we have your DB2 database administration solution.
