I've seen it in the wild in financial institutions (mainly banks)
running on as/400 or iSeries boxes. Most would then use products like
datamirror to migrate it out of db2 and into sql server, etc.. to run
their reporting packages against.

Large data centers, mainly for finance and logistics companies.
I have seen UDB running on mixtures of Linux, Solaris, AIX, and IBM
Mainframes. Many of the setups I have seen using UDB as the
customer facing database for websites. The data is then replicated,
in some manner, to Oracle or Sybase for data mining and archiving when
on UNIX.
The Mainframe databases generally keep the data on the mainframe in
UDB instances, no mucking around moving the data to other databases.
Probably because UDB is included on most of the midrange IBM boxes.
