Slow analytics on Db2
Sluggish ETL performance and hour‑long report runtimes are draining your team’s productivity and delaying business decisions.
Unmanageable licensing costs
Exorbitant IBM Db2 licensing fees consume budget that could fund your cloud‑first strategy and broader AWS ecosystem.
Risk of breaking business logic
Migrating complex Db2 triggers, constraints, and legacy load utilities feels risky — one oversight can break enterprise reporting.
IBM Db2 → Amazon Redshift migration — your questions answered
What happens to our existing Db2 support during migration?+
We keep vendor support active until your cutover. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on your Db2 system while you finish the move.
How do you handle Db2 triggers and constraints in Redshift?+
Yes. Our dual expertise in IBM mainframe and AWS cloud architecture ensures triggers are converted to Redshift-compatible logic, and constraints are handled via data quality checks and ETL validation.
What about our legacy file-load methods (e.g., Db2 LOAD)?+
We replace legacy utilities like the LOAD command with Redshift’s COPY command, bulk insert patterns, and AWS Glue jobs — no disruption to your existing file ingestion workflows.
How long does a Db2-to-Redshift migration take, and what does it cost?+
Most migrations finish in 5–10 months with 2–4 dedicated senior consultants. Budgets range from $110k–$600k depending on database size and complexity.
