Multiple transaction and application environments

To optimize performance, throughput, and response time, organizations can distribute their application transactions and data, and they can run database queries in parallel.

A cluster is a complex of machines that work together to handle multiple transactions and applications. The following Db2 data server products use cluster technology:

• Db2 for z/OS
• Db2 for i, which runs in the parallel System i® environment
• Db2 for Linux®, UNIX, and Windows

Db2 data server products can operate in clusters in the following environments:

• AIX®
• HP-UX
• IBM i
• Linux
