We've got a two-way Db2 cluster at the moment. With two members in that cluster, we could have up to 32 members in that cluster. It's got outward scalability as well.

It's got the ability to have up to 32 members within that data sharing group or that cluster. So you could run one of these on a separate Z server, Z mainframe, which would give you quite a lot of CPU capacity. I don't know whether there are any environments out there that would need or have that. Some of the world's largest banks - maybe in America or in Asia - might have a configuration like that. For us, we're across multiple processes, and we've got the ability, should we enable for cloud at a later date, to be in a position where we can just scale-out with little disruption, by just adding more LPARs with Db2 members in. We just have to make sure that we've got the processing capacity on the mainframe to support the additional workload.

It is a very scalable solution. It offers very good scalability. 

Db2 Database is scalable. One terabyte is sufficient and works perfectly to meet our needs.

It's quite scalable. We haven't had any issues. We can reuse DB2 mainframes, et cetera. We haven't had issues. 

We're not increasing usage. We're pushing towards the cloud and Azure systems. 

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. Around 50 to 100 people in our organization are using the solution. We plan to increase the use of the solution because there are always new teams in our organization who install the solution for the new joiners and any other projects or contracts.

IBM Db2 Database is a widely used application with over 200 regular users.

I rate the scalability of the IBM Db2 Database a seven out of ten.

We're currently using the solution for multiple projects. We have more than 100 people on the solution. 

It's very scalable. You can size it down or up. 

It is absolutely scalable. It is hard to count the number of users. For example, in a bank, each and every customer of the bank uses the product. There are hundreds of thousands or, in my case, even millions of customers. There are also people who are not customers but access the website of the banks to look at something. Those people are not registered, but they're using the product as well. So, there could be millions of users. In the banks where I work, the business is growing. With the growth of the business, the number of users is also growing every year by a small percentage.

If Db2 is properly used, an organization can build a database with thousands of tables, and it can provide the exact information for the applications within a second. We have 500,000 transactions a second, and each of them needs to get some information from the database to perform a show, insert, or delete operation for different users. In the banking or finance domain, there are a large number of transactions. Even in a small country, there would be a large number of transactions every minute or seconds of the day. Db2 is capable of providing services for each and every transaction.

It is a scalable solution.

It doesn't really matter whether small companies or big companies use IBM Db2 Database. Whether to choose IBM Db2 Database or not depends on a customer's preferences.

It's scalable.

It is very scalable. There are about 250 application systems with even more different databases on the same server with data sharing.

The primary concern is related to the cost implications when scaling with multiple nodes in a database. The associated costs increase when additional nodes are added, each requiring separate storage space. We have approximately four or five Db2 instances being used in the organization.

It is a scalable platform. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

I rate Db2 nine out of 10 for scalability. We have more than a thousand users. 

IBM Db2 Database is not scalable.

We have approximately 8, 000 clients.

I don't' have any knowledge about scalability.

We have found the solution to be scalable. If you want to expand it, you can. 

We don't really have individual users. It comes as part of a package and therefore it's hard to say who is using it and who isn't. 

I rate the product’s scalability an eight out of ten.

We did not have the need to scale the solution.

We are using the solution on a daily basis.

The scalability is an issue for us because Database Hammer does not work with IBM Power and POWER9 is too expensive. 

DB2 is very scalable offering multichoice of possiblities - massive parallel processing and also  clustering.

We use a scalable WebSphere Application Server topology, but it's a monolithic application that can only be scaled vertically, not horizontally, because it's a monolithic single database, but those limitations exist. But there are times when I believe we are pleased with the product.

We have multiple production environments and various resources, as well as separate teams to manage the database and separate teams to manage the Application Server. I believe it began with a small team, but as time passed, I believe the number of environments and teams increased. Teams are popular now. I believe we have teams dedicated to each area.

I can say that there are approximately 100 developers, both offshore and onshore.

The solution is scalable, and approximately 50 users in our organization are currently utilizing it.

It is a perfect solution for environments where scalability is going to be an issue. I am supporting two banks. They use Db2 for their core banking system. There are more than 500 users per bank who use this solution every single day.

We do not have any problems with scalability. I would say give high marks for scalability.

The system scales very well. It runs the new power nine chips and it's about to run the new power 10 chips that IBM is releasing as well. For that reason, the current systems out there are 16 CPU Power 10 processors that can have terabytes of memory associated with them. It performs extremely well in the environment. 

The system is very scalable to very large magnitudes. There are some very large Fortune 10 and Fortune 15 companies that run Db2 systems and can attest to the scalability

Presently, we have 200 solution users in our organization.

We have 34 technical users and over 50 end users for the solution. I rate its scalability as an eight.

With scalability, I do not have as much experience as other teams in our group because I am on the sales end. I do not have experience on that side. Because we are a business partner of IBM, we all understand the use of Db2. In our company, the main focus is always on what the customer wants and what kind of applications they want to build. As we are working in the financial sector, they have DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) and these requirements need to be fulfilled. What the customer wants ends up determining which database we suggest that they go for. In that sense, our market is mostly Oracle. But if they are trying to keep their budget concerns in check, then we will go for Db2, because it is less costly than Oracle.  

There were no issues with scalability.

We have about 4,000,000 requests daily.

I have found IBM Db2 Database scalable.

The solution is very scalable. IBM has a mid-range and a mainframe system, so every product is made with scalability in mind. 

Their main target is medium and large size business so they're not interested in small business. 

In my experience, the solution is able to be scaled vertically, but not horizontally. Everyone is using the solution in our organization.

Since it's on the Cloud, it's pretty much scalable with no limits.

We don't have experience with scalability because the server is also a dedicated server and the physical hardware has always been dedicated from the beginning. After five years, we made a technical upgrade and have been the same since.

There were no real scalability issues. Features in the Vanguard RACF security products allow the installation to determine security policy for DB2 resources and build the security rules as needed.

Very rarely.

It is a scalable solution. 

We have not had an issue with the scalability of the IBM Db2 Database.

The solution is quite scalable. A company shouldn't have issues with expanding it if they need to.

We typically implement the solution for small to medium-sized organizations.

We have 2,000 ICT people and most of them are working on the operational part of the site. Minimum, there are 100 or 80 people working on the system database.

The tool doesn't work as a distributed database based on customer needs. 

Db2's scalability is very good, especially when used in the IBM power system.

This solution is scalable. We have an infrastructure that is based on virtual machines, so we can add more to grow as we need. I am very happy about that.

We have perhaps sixty or seventy people using this solution.

A lot of scalability can be done in DB2, it only depends on the money you want to invest in it and on the functions that you really need. It can go from a free database to a very big infrastructure.

Scales well enough for a relational database. Not exceptional; scales at or slightly below its peers.

I would say this solution is scalable, in terms of memory.

There are approximately one thousand users.

No.

Hah! You kidding. DB2 for i? No. Never. Would you like a description of the IBM i Single-level Store. Add a new drive and you are good to go.

The solution is very scalable. We don't plan on increasing usage any time soon, however.

There were no issues with scalability.

No, but we never had it greater than 100TiB.

Yes. Many tables or indexes can't be scaled up without reorg step. As an unbreakable system, it's a very bad design.

The scalability is good. We have some clients that have over 9,000 users using this solution.

It has been a very scalable solution for us.

This is not relevant for me, we have rarely needed to build on the initial server footprint.
