Product Editions
Server Edition
InterBase SMP 2009 Server Edition is a highly-scalable, portable, cross-platform database, ideal for mission-critical enterprise, small-to-medium business, and embedded applications. InterBase SMP 2009 Server Edition delivers high performance for applications with complex business logic and high concurrent user levels through its built-in symmetric multiple processing (SMP) support and multi-threaded architecture. Built-in SMP support allows enterprises greater scalability with support for Dual/Quad-core and additional CPUs (up to 8) with no additional per-core licensing required.
Fast, easy installation, a small footprint, automatic crash recovery, self-tuning, and near zero maintenance make InterBase SMP the ideal solution for embedded, turn-key applications. SQL 92 compliance, advanced data reliability and recovery, Unicode, numerous connectivity options, and support for Windows®, Linux, SolarisTM, and Mac OS® X make InterBase SMP perfect for high-powered, cost-effective business-critical server applications in small-to-medium enterprises.
Desktop Edition
InterBase SMP 2009 Desktop Edition for Windows is a powerful, cost-effective deployment solution for standalone applications. Through its integration with Delphi®, C++Builder®, Delphi PrismTM, CodeGearTM RAD Studio, JBuilder®, and 3rdRail® development tools, InterBase Desktop Edition enables the rapid development of sophisticated desktop-based applications. With a small operational footprint, automatic crash recovery, and incremental backup, InterBase SMP Desktop Edition is an ideal embedded database for broad, desktop deployments that lack IT support and administration resources.
To-Go Edition
InterBase SMP To-Go Edition is a completely embeddable, full-featured, zero administration database that enables ISVs, OEMs, and VARs to bring their applications and solutions to market faster. The To-Go Edition allows deployment of applications that utilize the InterBase engine DLLs. With no separate database server process running, the database engine executes in the application process space, saving valuable memory. InterBase To-Go provides the benefits of InterBase in an extremely small footprint and works with flash file systems and other read-only media such as DVDs and CDs.
Developer Edition
InterBase SMP 2009 Developer Edition provides developers with the best cross-platform database to build and test database applications for embedded and SME applications. Developers are free to choose the standard connectivity they want, and make use of a mature SQL92 compliant database for their applications. Database performance monitoring allows the developer to streamline applications for optimal deployment.
