DB2 Administration

DM2 Administration

The System z/OS platform is known for its performance, scaling and continuous availability capabilities and DB2 is engineered to take full advantage of those characteristics. There's no compromising performance of reliability, availability, serviceability (RAS) in DB2.

The cost, performance and stability of z/OS Mainframe computers has led to a resurgence of Mainframes in the market. At the same time the DB2 DBA's needed to manage this growth are rapidly decreasing due to retirement, redeployment and turnover as scarcity - driven salary increases.
