The document discusses IBM's pureScale technology which allows DB2 databases to scale up to 128 nodes for high availability and scalability. PureScale forms a shared-disk cluster and uses proven "data sharing" technology from DB2 for z/OS. It provides agility to rapidly scale up or down capacity as needed with little application change. The company Triton built a basic 2-node pureScale cluster within a budget of under £1K to validate IBM's claims and gain hands-on experience. Their testing showed the cluster delivered 1000 transactions per second under load. The summary concludes that pureScale provides robust clustering with excellent price/performance.
