Features and Benefits
Highlights
UniData® is a best-of-breed, extended relational data server for embedding in vertical solutions- ideal for markets which target small-to-medium-businesses or large enterprises.
- Highly scalable, low-cost data management system
- Efficient encryption of data at rest with flexible encryption key management
- Supports Web services protocols including XML, JSON, RESTful and SOAP
- Supports U2 Dynamic Objects (UDO): an easier way to exchange data with web services
- Provides robust features for high availability, failover and data replication
- Includes innovative features for achieving optimum response times, ease of management and low total-cost-of-ownership (TCO)
- Offers standards-based SQL interfaces such as JDBC, OLEDB and ODBC that support the full nesting capability of the data server engine
- Includes Eclipse-based U2 Basic Developers Toolkit (BDT) and Extensible Administration Tool (XAdmin), bringing state-of-the-art development and administration tools to UniData
- Offers high availability enhancements to ease administration, increase the functionality of your replicated data and increase your application’s availability
- Includes Automatic Data Encryption (ADE) to protect your data at rest and SSL to protect your data in flight
Emerging Technologies
- Data Type Enforcement provides an optional check on data written to a file in order to assure only valid data is stored.
- External Database Access (EDA) can be used to replicate your data to a SQL database on the same server.
- U2 MetaData Manager (U2 MDM), user-friendly tool, quickly and easily builds and maintains mappings for your SQL tools into UniData.
Benefits
- Extended relational architecture requires fewer tables, whose size is dynamically managed by the data server. UniData sites require less data server administration, with smaller sites having zero or part-time resources allocated.
- Achieve shortened development cycles due to intuitive data server design an easy modification, along with a tightly integrated development environment
- UniData partners provide solutions across a broad spectrum of vertical industries allowing customers to quickly satisfy their requirements by buying, rather than building, solutions.
Features
- Automatic Data Encryption (ADE) protects your sensitive data on disk with minimal changes to applications. File and field level encryption may be configured to secure data automatically. A graphical interface is provided for key management.
- U2 Basic Developers Toolkit (BDT) provides a modern integrated development tool for Basic Developers that features a Resource Explorer, Dictionary Editor, Code Editor and Integrated Debugger.
- Connection Pooling (CP) enables developers to design and deploy applications that do not use persistent connections to the data server, such as in a Web environment. Connection Pools are authorized separately and do not consume data server licenses.
- External Database Access (EDA) provides the ability to store one or more UniData files on an external data server such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server or IBM DB2®, in a manner that is transparent to the application.You can replicate your UniData files to this external data server as well.
- Extensible Administration Tool (XAdmin) not only provides a GUI-based tool to administer your UniData database, but also allows the building of plug-ins for other administration tasks.
- Network File Architecture (NFA) offers local access to data on remote UniData servers.
- Recoverable File System (RFS) provides recoverability in case of system or media failures.
- Transaction Processing (TP) semantics provide atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability (ACID) properties for the data server.
