QuickSelect accelerates Db2 SQL workload performance by caching frequently requested query result sets in memory above the bar, eliminating time-consuming round trips to Db2. It transparently returns cached results up to one hundred times faster than Db2, even when Db2 data resides in buffer pools. QuickSelect’s update sensitivity ensures data integrity. Best of all, QuickSelect is plug-and-play, requiring no changes to programs, databases, or JCL.

VTFM-NewGen is a software-only virtual tape solution for z/OS that writes backups to virtual tape and moves copies of datasets to targets including object storage, public cloud, and z/OS DASD. Running directly on z/OS and requiring no proprietary hardware, VTFM delivers bulletproof mainframe reliability and availability. VTFM installs with no changes to JCL and leverages your existing HSM and tape management software and policies. Just define VTFM to your tape management solution and VTFM seamlessly integrates with your existing processes.

Executing Db2 utilities at the right time against your database objects is essential for optimal performance and availability. DBAs often lack time to monitor and fine-tune the timing and scope of utility execution. TUC solves this by providing a flexible, vendor-agnostic automation framework that continuously monitors object health to execute the right utility at the right time based on policies, thresholds, and Db2 statistics—ensuring peak Db2 performance and availability.
