Db2

IBM's Db2 is the most low latency enterprises database which supports for faster realtime as well as supporting low latency transactions equipped with full availability. Our use case for in order to use Db2 is to store all our banking related datas ( user data, bank/ATM branches data, Transaction purpose ), Assets inventory and some data of our own datalake which helds massive amount of data for showcasing analysis for various use cases.

IBM's Db2 on Cloud has been our primary DBMS software since our migration to the cloud. Our use of Db2 extends across various functions within the organization, including student and employee data management, ERP backend (for enterprise resource planning), transaction processing, and analysis. The scope encompasses the entire lifecycle of our educational and administrative processes, showcasing Db2's versatility and reliability in supporting a large and complex institution.

When we initially looked at Db2 the use case to drive adoption was geared towards control of large scale unstructured data which was sourced from many different sources integration methods. From that initial scope, you can image the workload and compute problems that you have in just extracting, loading, and running data quality processes on that data even before beginning to start to refine and curate for many different presentation layers. Db2 offers a wide range of integration support, has the agility to handle large scale enterprise workloads, and most import offers the flexibility of cloud compatibility.

We use Db2 as the Application Databases that we have and the processes that utilize them at SSE/OVO Energy. A Db2 Sub-system can itself be part of a Db2 Data Sharing Group. Db2 Data Sharing allows us to spread the workload and resources of Db2 over more than one LPAR. The assigned Application databases are accessible through the Db2 sub-systems of the group. At SSE, we have several Data Sharing Groups. Each one has two sub-systems, these sub-systems running on separate LPARs. Each Data Sharing Group has its own unique name, there are several ways to connect to Db2 when wishing to access the databases. The Application that we use here is called the Customer System (also known as the CS Database). CS comprises 17 databases totaling over 1100 tables.

It can be used in both ways with or without relational concepts which helped with the current requirement of our business module where we need to be able to store data of both nature, structured and unstructured for us to help minimize the data loss which is incredibly sensitive and important for the business growth and fulfilling product needs.

Db2 has been a critical component of our organization's data management strategy, delivering several advantages to satisfy our business needs. It helps us to achieve our goals. One of the main advantages of Db2 is its dependability, which has continuously supplied us with secure and rapid access to our data.

IBM Db2 is a highly scalable, secure, and reliable database management system. It has capabilities such as advanced query optimization and efficient resource management. The biggest problem that my company faces with third-party logistics is that every movement of every shipment is captured. And for that, we require a reliable and efficient database management system. This is where Db2 comes in. Various projects like landing profiles, weak links capturing in a logistics network, etc. are all dependent on Db2. All the Power BI dashboards are also linked with Db2 for real-time accurate KPIs visibility.

After almost 4 years with Db2, I can confirm its reliability and accurateness and many features. As an illustration of its stability, it handles our situation with many transactions without issues and complaints. Also, due to its cross-platform interoperability, our efficiency increased, and we gained useful information. Finally, troubleshooting is very easy if any issue arises and can be solved very easily with detailed documentation and a helpful community.

Db2 is used in factories, to collect all data about products produced. It is used to insert/follow up orders of products We also have a datawarehouse where we create all kind of statistics/reports

IBM Db2 is one of most highly reliable,scalable and high performance db tool I ever worked with.during my Tenure worked as a product admin my experience with this application is constantly demonstrated its reliability and comprehensive features set.it provide full set of data redundancy and 100% availabilitie like other famous db.

DB2 is used as RDBMS for transactional and reporting applications. We have built a custom application using DB2, and it is also used for reporting and analytics purposes.

Our main student information system uses a Db2 backend. This allows us to store basic information on students, staff and parents.
We then use it to track academic marks, reports and pastoral comments.
We can then use a range of tools to produce reports and experts for different areas of our school.

DB2 helps design, store, and handle large collections of data. DB2 provides both on-premises and cloud hosting solutions. DB2 can be fine-tuned to scale according to the load, improving performance. DB2 can handle structured, unstructured, and relational data on one platform itself.

Db2 is an object-relational database. It supports database servers; it also extends to support object–relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. It provides high availability and helps with zero downtime and no data loss. It also aids in data partitioning by indexing and delivering optimal performance since it has data governance in Unity catalogs in Data Lakehouse.

Our organization use IBM Db2 to leverages its features such as Performance Optimization, backup and recovery, and resource management to ensure the reliability, scalability and performance of our backend used for demanding API-driven applications. It also plays a crucial role in making sure data integrity, security and compliance with regulatory requirements.

It is used widely company wise by different department and different applications, mostly it is lagacy system, created in house or vendors. DB2 have very important company data, transnational and reporting.

We leverage Db2 as a reliable dependable powerful scalable relational database management system that handles massive data storage with all the data quality and governance enhancing value delivery delivered by relational databases architected for corporate cross functional integrations and actionability.

Db2 is the database of choice for all our mainframe applications in our organization. Many mission critical applications are using Db2 database to manage their work. It is a very high performance database. There are excellent tools available to manage the database such as Platinum etc. You can use it us dbeaver or other windows based software client.

Db2 database provides the reliable transaction processing (OTLP) capability along with robust data security and compliance features. High availability and disaster recovery is one of the critical aspect provided by the Db2. Db2 database has been used to store the customer information, policy details, offers, discount calculation, insurance claims etc. Across the organization IBM products were used so Db2 provided a seamless integration.

We have used the DB2 database for our property and casualty insurance project with one of the global insurers. We use the Guidewire insurance policy admin tool for our underwriting activity transformation and there we integrated Guidewire with db2 for data management of various global-level accounts. We did data mapping by first defining the database schema to align with Guidewire’s data model. Schema involves the creation of tables, indexes, and relationships by using Db2.

Its a highly underrated DBMS system which has lot of capabilities.
We have been using this for large scale OLTP applications . It has good capability to handle huge number of concurrent users . We have few thousand's of users accessing this system. We have very minimal performance problems and very has good performance tuning solutions available . Implemented encryption as well.

Because Db2 is scalable, it can be used by both big and small businesses with different types of data requirements. To obtain data and test my applications using various data sets, I primarily utilize SQL scripts. The financial and demographic data that form the foundation of our system are ideal for the Db2 database. With all of our sensitive data, the system's security is ideal.

In financial sector the organisation deals with high volume of data transaction which should be highly reliable and secure at same time. IBM Db2 can help to meet these standards and helps client to effectively manage and process massive data while ensuring integrity and complaince with regulatory standards

Use case in organisation is managing data efficiently and security.

I have worked directly with IBM Db2 since the 1980s to the current state of my responsibilities. Initially, working with Db2, it was hosted on a 3090 Mainframe Processor and then on a MF Z/OS platform. As in the past to present, we use Db2 for large transactional applications, which oftentimes are very large tablespaces that can accommodate millions upon millions of rows of data. Oftentimes, we find that using an application program such as Cobol defeats the purpose when the application begins to grow by leaps and bounds; this is where Db2 fits the bill by providing efficiency and stability. We have also been using Db2 on Cloud for a while now. Seamless and transparent and eliminates various onsite interactions from a processor standpoint. Scales out as needed.
