BEZPlus for IBM DB2 UDB database applications allows DB2 UDB users to capitalize on the unique proactive performance management solutions developed by BEZ.

DB2 UDB is a database management system that serves as a flexible and cost-effective database platform to build robust on-demand business applications. DB2 UDB further leverages enterprise resources with broad support for open standards and popular development platforms like J2EE and Microsoft .NET. The DB2 UDB family also includes solutions tailored for specific needs like business intelligence and advanced tooling.

Important performance and infrastructure decisions must be made using fact-based information. Tradeoffs for each decision must be understood in order to arrive at the correct conclusion for each enterprise. For example, DB2 UDB uses Multiple Logical Nodes or partitions to achieve parallelism. Decisions about partitioning should be based on response and scalability requirements for each of the workloads supported within each application. Adding partitions and tailoring those partitions to the requirements set for each workload is a non-trivial task. Continuous efforts are required to find the best compromise for business responsiveness and system manageability.

Enterprise customers that rely on DB2 UDB can now benefit from by employing BEZPlus. BEZPlus allows DB2 UDB customers to proactively understand, analyze and predict the impact of infrastructure changes on service delivery. They can, therefore, more realistically justify infrastructure investments and better support the ongoing demands of line-of-business applications.
