db2Dean’s U2 and Universe Page
Last Updated: 26 May 2009
These days I primarily work with DB2 on Linux, UNIX and Windows, but I know some folks using the UniData or UniVerse (U2) databases. I don’t know a lot about theU2 product family, but please contact me with any questions that you may have but don’t know where to turn. I probably can’t answer them, but I have friends who can. Let’s thank Ed Robb and Ehab Abushmais, IBM U2 team members, who contributed most of the content to this page! The U2 Product Family is a strategic portfolio for IBM. To confirm this, please read the following letter from Ambuj Goyal the General Manager of Information Management software at IBM by clicking this link:

This is the place to start when looking for information about UniVerse, UniData and related products. It includes product, OS and support information.
We finally have a central location for down loading all available trial and other free software. So if you want to tryout UniData or Universe, for example, this is the site for you. This link takes you to the section in the page where the U2 products are shown. They are between the Tivoli and Websphere lists.
Open Electronic Problem Requests, access the U2 portfolio knowledge base and get lots of other good information.
Ask non-technical questions about U2, for example, inquires about product availability, licensing, porting schedules, etc.
Browse the UniVerse and UniData classes by choosing this link and then clicking the U2 product that interests you.. I also find the training paths link that diagram the courses useful.
Every version of software eventually goes out of support. Review this page periodically to make sure that you don’t get a nasty little surprise in the middle of the night when you call for support for your U2 system.
On what Operating Systems and hardware do UniVerse and UniData run? Check these links to see.
Get a free, permanent copy of DB2 for your laptop or Linux/Windows Server. This is a good link if you are looking for a new toy to try.
