An enterprise DBMS is designed for scalability and high performance. • An enterprise DBMS must be capable of supporting very large databases, a large number of concurrent users, and multiple types of applications. • The enterprise DBMS run on a large-scale machine, typically a mainframe or a high-end server running UNIX, Linux, or Window Server. • Multiprocessor support, support for parallel queries, and other advanced DBMS features will be core components of an enterprise DBMS.
