Overview
Db2 Warehouse is a fully-managed, price-performant, elastic cloud data warehouse designed to give you control over the cost and scale of your analytics. It is built on IBM Db2's decades of expertise in price-performance, advanced in-memory processing, security, and responsible data sharing.
From a single platform, data engineers and data scientists can analyze and predict business outcomes across a variety of data sources. Whether your data is unstructured, or resides in your data lake, making sure analytical data is unified, accessible, and scalable accelerates decision-making and innovation across your organization. Organizations are using Db2 Warehouse for low-latency querying and real-time insights, in-database ML and AI, seamless integration with BI and reporting tools, and responsible collaboration via governed data access and distribution.
For existing Db2, Db2 Warehouse and Integrated Analytics System appliance customers, the Db2 Warehouse service on AWS is a natural choice for cloud modernization. It runs the latest version of the Db2 engine making on-premises workloads 100% compatible with the cloud data warehouse, including DDL, DML, ETL and any other tooling used with your warehouse today.

Db2: High Availability and OLTP Powerhouse
Reviewed on Mar 07, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
IBM Db2 is excellent for high availability and disaster recovery strategies particularly with HADR and Q replication for near real-time failover. The row-level locking mechanism optimizes OLTP workloads, ensuring efficient concurrency control without excessive blocking.
What do you dislike about the product?
Db2’s cloud-native integration lags behind modern cloud-first databases like Aurora or Spanner. Although IBM provides Db2 on Cloud, its Kubernetes operator lacks the automation maturity seen in competitors like CockroachDB or YugabyteDB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The native columnar storage for analytical workloads allows for hybrid OLTP and OLAP processing, reducing the need for separate analytics databases.
