DB2 Universal Database (UDB), from IBM, runs everything from handhelds to servers to mainframes. IBM offers several versions to run on many different platforms, enabling flexibility and compatibility across the varied needs of a corporate environment.
DB2 for z/OS is the mainframe version of the database. The cost, performance and stability of z/OS Mainframe computers has led to a renaissance of Big Iron in the market. At the same time the DB2 DBAs needed to manage this growth are rapidly decreasing due to retirement, redeployment to higher-value initiatives, and turnover.
The DB2 DBA talent shortage is global; traditional outsourcing, therefore, is not a solution. Training is, at best, a long-term option. There are few university and corporate training opportunities for mainframe database administration skills and on-the-job apprenticeship programs take years to mature.
The solution to the clash between supply and demand is to dramatically improve productivity through scaleable, automated process design and an expert managed services delivery model. dbaDIRECT offers this solution, providing operational excellence through 24x365 global coverage, customer specific SOPs, and 15 - minute response times. Regardless of your version or platform, dbaDIRECT has your DB2 database administration solution.
