Higher transaction rates

Data sharing gives you opportunities to put more work through the system to produce higher transaction rates.

As the following figure illustrates, you can run the same application on more than one member to achieve transaction rates that are higher than possible on a single Db2 subsystem.

Figure 1. Data sharing enables growth. You can move some of your existing Db2 workload onto another central processor complex (CPC).
Begin figure description. Forming a data sharing group of even just two members can relieve an already-saturated DB2 subsystem and support many more application instances. End figure description.
