DB2: What Happens Next
IBM's DB2 strategy is aimed at reducing application development and training costs.
How? By getting new applications in production sooner, using the newest and fastest
technologies, and maintaining high levels of system availability.
Specifically, the strategy ensures that, on allplatforms, DB2 will:
- Use parallel techniques to exploit the hardware and operating environments on
which they run to provide excellent performance
- Interoperate efficiently -- for transparent access to data anywhere -- and maintain a
common application programming interface for application portability
- Allow customers to leverage investments in existing skills, thereby reducing
training costs and speeding up the development of new applications
- Match and exceed competitive offerings by delivering leadership functionality at a
pace consistent with customers' needs
- Maintain the robust quality exhibited in existing products, and incorporate the
experience and advanced technology of IBM's research into these products
