Я правильно понимаю, что теперь за +49$ к PVU для ESE получаем в комплекте компрессию, WLM, LBAC, продукты Optim, федерацию с ораклом и Q-репликацию в "одном флаконе" ? Подозрительная "щедрость" :)

А еще, RAM-limit для WSE теперь 64Gb и бесплатный PureScale для WSE
Ну просто "невиданный аттракцион щедрости" (с)

FavnА где про это почитать? Можно ссылочку?

DB2 Workgroup Server Edition and DB2 pureScale

To allow DB2 Workgroup Server Edition to take advantage of new server technologies the memory limit per physical or virtual server is now 64 GB. DB2 Workgroup Server Edition restricts itself to 16 cores per server, either physical or virtual. There are no restrictions on the total number of cores or sockets on the physical server if DB2 Workgroup is licensed using the socket or authorized user pricing metrics. These changes are effective in DB2 9.7 and DB2 9.8 and onwards.

Increasingly smaller departmental systems cannot afford to be offline or need to be able to scale rapidly. The DB2 pureScale feature is now included with DB2 Workgroup Server Edition 9.8 at no additional charge and introduces clustering technology to DB2 on System X and Power platforms, so you can deploy continuously available and scalable database clusters. By allowing the database to continue processing through most planned and unplanned outages, it helps improve the availability of DB2. It supports higher transaction rates by letting you 'grow your business' to meet the most demanding business needs. DB2 pureScale with DB2 Workgroup is restricted to a total of four sockets running DB2 across all servers in the cluster.
