DB2® Multisystem can help you increase your database capacity, realize improvements in query performance, and provide remote database access through an easier method.
Using DB2 Multisystem, your users and your applications only need to access the file from the local system. You have no need to make any code changes to be able to access data in a distributed file versus a local file. With functions like Distributed Relational Database Architecture™ (DRDA®) and distributed data management (DDM), your access must be explicitly directed to a remote file or to a remote system to be able to access that remote data. DB2 Multisystem handles the remote access in such a way that it is transparent to your users.
DB2 Multisystem also provides a simple growth path for your database expansion.
