Analytics, Mobile, and Cloud are changing the landscape for enterprise customers. These technology trends are driven partly by an explosion of data and by business' needs to gain "deeper business insight" from enterprise data, to improve business efficiency and effectiveness. The enterprise's data server is at the heart of this revolution—so data servers must be agile, secure, and integrate seamlessly with these newer technologies. This book provides an overview of how DB2 12 addresses these business and technological needs. It will help architects and IT professionals understand DB2 12's capabilities and ensure that business and IT are aligned, and also ensure that they design and deliver an architecture that supports the most efficient and secure IT environment to meet an enterprise's business needs.
