I have a new project that will need to run at my clients multiple office locations, currently they use thin clients via a VPN, but I don't think I want to rely on it. Will ES work here for a Winform application using DB2 on OS/400 on the backend?
Thanks.

Yes, the ES is provider independent... you have to specify the DbDataSourceItem type to use in the ES's configuration file.

The EnterpriseDataSourceItem essentially wraps a DbDataSourceItem and overrides the transport to send it across HTTP, so it will work with SqlDataSourceItem, OracleDataSourceItem, Db2DataSourceItem, etc.

Nice.
Is there a "getting started with ES" whitepaper or help file somewhere, I am going to set up and test internally before pitching to my client.
Thanks.

No, but there are several documents within the help file that detail how to setup the web.config and datasources.config files which define everything for the ES.
