Announcing Db2 Intelligence Center: AI-powered database management for the modern DBAs

By Aniruddha Joshi posted Tue May 06, 2025 12:53 PM

  
We’ve spent years talking to Db2 database administrators (DBAs), understanding their pain points, frustrations and the complexity of their workflows. The feedback we have captured is loud and clear: DBAs are tired of fragmented tools that don’t integrate with each other. They’re tired of the endless libraries of scripts where each DBA maintains his or her own variations, and they’re tired of constantly reacting to problems and manually troubleshooting, as opposed to being proactive in their database management approach. DBAs deserve better.


Today, we’re excited to announce our answer to these challenges: Db2 Intelligence Center, an AI-powered database management platform designed specifically for Db2 database administrators and IT professionals managing databases.



What is Db2 Intelligence Center?



Db2 Intelligence Center is a unified, intelligent management console purpose-built for Db2 administrators. It combines advanced monitoring, AI-powered troubleshooting and query optimization into a single integrated solution—one that simplifies and accelerates every aspect of Db2 management.
 
With Db2 Intelligence Center, DBAs can move away from firefighting and back toward strategic tasks that drive real business value.

  • Catch anomalies before they impact users, dramatically reducing downtime and performance degradation.



4. Smarter query optimization and performance tuning

Our assistant leverages Db2 internals, historical usage patterns, real-time metrics, and real-world DBA workflows to provide actionable insights that scale your team's expertise, not replace it.
