Performance and scalability of a large OLTP workload with DB2 9 for System z on Linux

DB2 9 on Linux on System z is a scalable solution for large OLTP workloads. This paper illustrated that a high volume of transactions can be processed on a large database. It demonstrated that the database size can grow by a factor of six to approximately 1.4 TB with no marked performance change. The paper also shows that DB2 9, running on a System z LPAR and z/VM, performs very well and it describes the setup used to reach these results.
