1. Embarcadero® InterBase® XE3 is a full-featured, high performance, multiplatform and scalable relational database
for developers who are looking to embed a low-cost, zero admin, lightweight database into their Android, iOS,
Windows and OS X apps. With InterBase XE3 you get powerful access control, disaster recovery and journaling, as well
as support for popular database drivers for increased deployment flexibility.
Small, Fast, Highly Efficient
Need a database that is compact in memory and disk size but powerful
enough to support your business-critical apps? InterBase is easy to
install, has a tiny footprint and requires zero administration. It’s an
incredible database to embed in your apps.
Embeddable Database for Android and iOS
Are you creating apps for Android or iOS? Enable local data access
with InterBase ToGo, an embeddable database for your mobile apps.
InterBase ToGo runs in a standalone environment with no separate
database server process required. It’s fast with a small footprint, just
like InterBase, but it’s optimized for mobile.
Ultra-Fast Performance
Build your app using one of the fastest native databases available.
InterBase leverages today’s multi-core CPUs and multi-CPU systems,
along with a unique versioning approach, to retrieve and update
your data fast.
Use the Cloud or Keep it Local
Give your app instant access to resources by hosting InterBase in the
cloud. Or keep it local for higher security and faster performance.
You choose.
