DB2 UDB PE

This full-function database offering is for single-users and will not accept remote database requests, however, it contains DB2 UDB client components and will serve as a remote client to a DB2 Server. This offering is available on Windows and Linux. In DB2 UDB v8, functionality that was previously available in the DB2 Satellite Edition has been incorporated into PE. This functionality forms part of a DB2 solution to support systems that operate disconnected from the corporate system the majority of the time and connect occasionally to a central database to exchange data.

The application areas that can benefit from this solution include contract management, insurance application automation, securities marketing, and automobile insurance claims processing. In addition, large-scale branch office deployments are being used to provide automation to franchise stores, insurance agents, and regional offices of large corporations. In these kinds of environments, the applications are custom built, purchased, or a combination of both.
