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.

  • Highly scalable, low-cost data management system.
  • Efficient encryption of data at rest with flexible encryption key management
  • Support for Web services protocols including XML and SOAP.
  • Includes UniObjects for .NET -- a native, high performance API for developing in the Microsoft® .NET framework.
  • Robust features for high availability, failover and data replication available.
  • Includes innovative features for achieving optimum response times, ease of management and low total-cost-of-ownership (TCO).
  • Standards-based SQL interfaces such as JDBC, OLEDB and ODBC that support the full nesting capability of the data server engine.
  • Includes Eclipse-based Basic Developers Toolkit (BDT) and Extensible Administration Tool (XAdmin), bringing state-of-the-art Eclipse-based development and administration tools to UniData.
  • Automatic Data Encryption to protect your data on disk and SSL to protect your data in flight.
  • High availability enhancements to ease administration, increase the functionality of your replicated data and increase your application’s availability.

Benefits

  • Extended relational architecture requires fewer tables whose size is dynamically managed by the data server. UniData sites require list data server administration with smaller sites having zero or part-time resources allocated.
  • Shortened development cycles due to ease of data server design along with tightly integrated development environment.
  • UniData supports a broad range of information management applications with excellent performance and reliability. As a result, a large number of industry solution providers use UniData to support their applications. This allows the customer to more quickly satisfy their requirements by buying, rather than building, solutions.

Features

  • Automatic Data Encryption 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.
  • Basic Developers Toolkit (BDT) provides a modern integrated development tool for Basic Developers that features a Resource Explorer, a Dictionary Editor, a Code Editor and an 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.
  • Device Licensing for Server Edition offers the ability to customize the number of connections per device such as a user's PC. This provides greater flexibility when fewer than 10 connections per device are required and the additional value of Enterprise Edition is not an alternative.
  • External Data server Access (EDA) provides the ability to store one or more UniData files on an external data server such as IBM DB2® Universal Data server, in a manner that is transparent to the application.
  • Extensible Administration Tool (XAdmin) not only provides a GUI-based tool to administer your UniData database, but will also allow 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.
