Database Reliability Engineering

Mission Critical DB2.

We fix what generalist cloud engineers break. Deep-dive tuning, resilience architecture, and 24/7 operations for IBM DB2 LUW.

Phase 01

Diagnostics & Baseline

You cannot optimize what you do not measure. We begin with a forensic audit of your instance configuration, OS parameters, and buffer pool usage to establish a performance baseline.

Wait Analysis

Identifying exactly what sessions are waiting on (I/O, Locks, CPU latching).

Memory Heap Audit

Ensuring SortHeap, LockList, and BufferPools are sized for current workload, not defaults.

Phase 02

Performance Tuning

SQL Access Path Analysis

We analyze the Package Cache to find high-cost statements. We fix them via index inclusion, MQTs, or rewriting specific predicates to avoid table scans.

Workload Management (WLM)

Implementing actual queues and thresholds to ensure reporting queries don't starve transactional throughput during peak hours.

Phase 03

High Availability

Architecture

  • HADR (High Availability DR)
  • TSAMP Automation
  • Pacemaker Integration
  • Read-on-Standby Routing

Operations

  • Automated Failover Testing
  • Backup Validity Checks
  • Log Archival Strategy
  • Encryption at Rest

04 // MIGRATIONS

// EXECUTION_PLAN: Zero Data Loss. Minimal Downtime.

KNOWLEDGE_BASE

Do you support DPF (Partitioned) environments?
Yes. We have extensive experience with multi-node environments and data skew redistribution.
Can you help with licensing audits?
We provide PVU calculation reports and help optimize configuration to minimize license costs.
Do you offer 24/7 SLA?
Yes. Our retainer packages include defined response times for critical severity incidents.
