Introduction

In today's global business, your distributed database system must not only be available 24x7: it must also grow as required. Whether that means short-term
scalability for peak high-demand periods or uninterrupted service during both planned outages (maintenance) and unplanned outages, stakes are high, and every second counts.

The IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is designed for organizations that run online transaction processing (OLTP) applications on distributed systems. The DB2
pureScale Feature offers clustering technology that helps reduce the risk and cost of business growth, with application cluster transparency, scalability, and continuous availability. DB2 pureScale technology is based on the proven DB2 for z/OS Parallel Sysplex architecture, recognized as the gold industry standard for maintaining high availability and scalability.

With the DB2 pureScale Feature, scaling your database solution is simple. Multiple members process incoming database requests. Members operate in a clustered system and share data. You can add more members to scale out to meet even the most demanding business needs. Scaling your system is simply a matter of adding a new member to the pureScale cluster and issuing two simple commands. Few or no application changes are required, and you do not have to redistribute data or perform performance tuning.

The DB2 pureScale Feature provides resiliency through workload balancing (WLB) and automatic client reroute (ACR), as driven by an IBM Data Server driver or client. As of DB2 Version 9.7 Fix Pack 1, all IBM Data Server drivers and clients support WLB and ACR running against DB2 pureScale server.
