Actian X – Zen Embedded Database

Zero-maintenance, Embedded, Nano-footprint

Actian Zen database is the best-in-class single, secure, scalable architecture for Edge Data Management.  It’s the perfect solution for software developers who want dedicated application data management and deliver business-critical products and services into OT and low IT environments.

Enterprise-class features and security

Cost-effective Actian Zen offers full security, encryption, management and monitoring tools, plus a host of other features you would expect to see in a much more expensive DBMS product.

Stability and Reliability

There’s no doubt why Independent Software Vendors embed or bundle Actian Zen Enterprise Server database for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS in their mission critical applications. Actian Zen’s reputation is based on rock solid reliability.

Zero-ETL Data Portability

Actian Zen shares a common data type and file format across all Zen database products, so accessing and moving data between an ARM device (e.g. a Raspberry Pi) and Windows or Linux servers requires none of the typical ETL overhead. Just copy files and go.

Cloud Ready

If your application is running on a VM as part of a Cloud or your application is deployed in a way that you don’t want to count or can’t count users, Actian Zen Cloud Server has the right data management features, functionality, and license model for you.

Innovation yet Backwards Compatibility

Actian has an over 30-year history of innovation while still providing reliable backward compatibility with PSQL or anything written to be 100% SQL compliant, making moves to new versions a snap.

Zero Database Administration

Set it and forget it. Most ISVs and Enterprise software deployed to branch, field or small business environments don’t want end-users to know there’s a database let alone have or want a DBA. Actian Zen is built for environments where users don’t have the resources to manage a database. Zen runs without end-user interaction, notice, or DBA supervision.

Multi-platform Support without Application Code Changes

Actian Zen enables ISVs to take advantage of new hardware architecture, OS platforms, and computing environments (e.g. 64-bit, Mobile, IoT, Cloud) without application changes. If your customer base numbers in the thousands, the Zen database family enables you to move to new platforms without code modifications.
