Zero administration and tiny footprint
Unlike many databases that require expensive support and maintenance, InterBase requires no administration. Simple installation, zero administration and a tiny footprint make InterBase an incredible database to embed in your applications.
More security and access control
Encrypt the entire database or just a critical table or column. InterBase can encrypt data stored in the database, transmitted across networks and stored in database backups. InterBase XE3 supports the Advance Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES). With InterBase you get multi-user access and permissions and the ability to filter on only the information you want to see.
Embed once and deploy everywhere
Move your database across platforms seamlessly. Write your application once on your platform of choice and deploy it to any other platform or device. InterBase supports heterogeneous O/S connectivity for Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X.
Ultra-fast performance
Using its built in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), InterBase can take advantage of today¿s multi-core CPUs and multi-CPU systems. Performance enhancements and optimizations have been added in a number of areas, such as restoring databases, batch updates, and queries.
Supports a range of development tools
InterBase supports all major development paradigms including Java, C, C++, .NET, Delphi, PHP and Ruby. It integrates closely to C++Builder, RAD Studio, and Delphi so that when you deploy your RAD projects to any platform, InterBase will automatically deploy with it. If you¿re a Visual Studio developer you can work with InterBase via the ADO. NET or ODBC connectors for easy access to your data.
Put your database in the cloud or keep it local
Take advantage of the power of Cloud and deploy InterBase in a cloud computing environment or keep it local for higher security and higher performance.
