Try the next version of DB2 in the Cloud

Try the next version of DB2 in the Cloud


The DB2 Early Experience program lets you try the latest version of DB2 under development. Your feedback then helps build a better DB2.

By participating in the DB2 Early Experience program on the cloud, you can create your own DB2 server without having to obtain hardware, install and patch operating systems, or install the DB2 Early Experience code. Simply boot your database server when you want to use it and shut it down when you�re finished.
  • Request participation from db2beta at ca.ibm.com
  • Watch quick videos for instructions

Treat yourself to DB2 this holiday season

Treat yourself to DB2 this holiday season


Earlier this year, Oracle acquired MySQL. They have since significantly hiked up prices across the entire MySQL line. Today, it costs more to get a years subscription to MySQL than to simply get IBM DB2 Express Fixed Term License (FTL).


What surprises me is how much more value you get by going with IBM. DB2 is 60% cheaper than a comparable MySQL edition. You can set up a cluster of two DB2 servers for the price of one MySQL server and have change left over.

Keep in mind that MySQL Enterprise limits you to four processors, which is comparable to the DB2 Express limit of four cores across two processors.

DB2 Express FTL, which is built on exactly the same code as all IBM DB2 editions, comes with official IBM 24x7 Support, High Availability Disaster Recovery clustering, SQL replication, backup compression, Optim Development Studio, Optim Database Administrator, DB2 fixpacks, and access to older DB2 releases through IBM Passport Advantage.
