Powered with AI for Query Optimization

Built to run the world’s mission-critical workloads, IBM Db2 supports low-latency transactions and real-time analytics to empower enterprises to support modern data workloads and meeting AI and hybrid cloud needs.

IBM® Db2® is a cloud-native database with decades of expertise. It supports mixed transactional and analytical workloads, providing a unified platform for database administrators (DBAs), enterprise architects and developers to run apps, store and query data and simplify development. Make your applications secure, highly performant and resilient, regardless of transaction volume or complexity.  

Features

Enterprise architects, DBAs and developers can use a single, cloud-native engine for the next generation of data and AI-driven applications. 

• **AI-powered query optimization: **IBM Db2 integrates advanced AI-powered query optimization capabilities, allowing enterprises to tap into the potential of AI within their database operations. This feature provides automated performance tuning, enabling the system to continuously learn from historical query patterns and adapt execution plans for optimal performance.
• **Continuous availability and disaster recovery: **Promote business continuity and avoid unplanned downtime with IBM Db2 pureScale® and its continuous availability that runs on-premises and/or on any cloud. IBM Db2 is also integrated with Pacemaker, an open-source high-availability cluster resource manager, enhancing the overall stability and reliability of database operations.
• **Highly secure - Data-driven governance and security: **Build secure access control ensuring that only authorized applications can perform specific operations. Protect data in-motion and at rest, monitor and detect unknown behaviors and help to ensure the privacy of your data with Db2’s end-to-end governance and security capabilities.
• **High performance and scalability: **Enable faster data retrieval and high-performance applications with best-in-class compression, scalable storage and compute, and machine-learning-based query optimization to support all your workload needs.
• **Deploy and connect apps and services across the hybrid cloud: **Gain flexibility with your choice of deployment, whether fully managed SaaS on IBM Cloud and Amazon RDS, hybrid or on-premises. Connect your web, mobile and cloud applications with Db2 data through scalable, seamless RESTful APIs, fully integrated into the Db2 distributed data facility (DDF).
• **One engine for all your workloads: **Db2 enables multiple high-performing, mission-critical workloads (transactional, analytical, operational) to run against the same database. Db2 can also feed data to Db2 Warehouse and watsonx.data for new insights and AI with trusted data.
