Linux Server OS White Papers

Improved Database Performance with DB2 and Linux

Tags:
linux server os

Overview Seeking to offer its customers faster, better services at lower costs, Structural Bioinformatics, Inc, a leader in computational proteonomics, wanted to migrate its protein-modeling system from an infrastructure based on Oracle and Sun to a solution that would provide more processing speed and capacity with higher availability and reliability. After hearing positive reports about IBM DB2 Universal Database and Linux running on Intel processor-based servers, SBI decided that DB2 for Linux and Linux clusters of IBM eServer xSeries servers would be its next solution, along with IBM WebSphere Application Server for delivering transactions over the Web. Download this case study to learn more about the key business benefits that were experienced with this solution.
