DB2 Integrated Cluster Environment

Business Challenge
You want to create a data center solution consisting of enterprise class applications, databases, management tools, network infrastructure and server hardware. Until recently, such solutions were based on proprietary systems and involved significant investment in capital, time, and resources to assemble, integrate, test, manage and support.
Solution
The challenge of creating a data center has changed dramatically with Linux clusters and best-of-breed software, hardware and services from IBM and its partners. The Total Linux Cluster solution provides a high performance data management system that can scale from two to 1,000 nodes in a clustered Linux environment.
