Use IBM DB2 Express-C on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). IBM DB2 Express-C, the no-charge edition of the relational and XML hybrid DB2 data server, is ideally suited for use in Cloud environments and delivering Data-as-a-Service (DAAS). DB2 Express-C offers core DB2 functionality, including the revolutionary pureXML data management capabilities, and provides a solid base to build and deploy applications using C/C++, Java™ programming language, .NET, PHP, Ruby on Rails and other programming platforms. You can now take advantage of DB2 Express-C for powering your database and DAAS applications in the Amazon EC2 environment.

Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) can develop and prototype database applications on Amazon EC2 using the 32-bit or 64-bit DB2 Express-C development Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). These Linux based DB2 Express-C 9.7 AMIs are available at the low cost of your Amazon Web Services (AWS) usage, have no time limits, and do not come with official IBM support. There is no fee from IBM for the AMI.

To start developing on Amazon EC2, you'll need an Amazon account. If you don't have one, you can create it as part of the registration process.

	Register with Amazon and start using the development AMI for IBM DB2 Express C-9.7 32-bit
	Register with Amazon and start using the development AMI for IBM DB2 Express C-9.7 64-bit
