RECENTLY ANNOUNCED Zen V15 Zen V15 now runs on Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 with up to 90% improved SQL performance Buy Now6X Faster than MySQL Zen Edge Data Management A Revolutionary Approach for IoT Data and Edge-to-Cloud Analytics 15-Minute Video TutorialDownload Zen Core The Embedded Database Developers Choose Edge applications and devices increasingly rely on AI to improve automation and decisions – human and machine – in stand-alone, peer-to-peer, local network, cloud and hybrid environments. The underlying edge data management must leverage a variety of hardware architectures, operating environments, networks, communications interfaces, and programming and scripting languages for applications that use these resources. Zen Edge Data Management delivers against these broad and demanding requirements. ►DBTA Webinar Enabling Time-Series Analysis for Mobile and IoT Simplicity Single, secure, scalable architecture supports concurrent read and write, using NoSQL and SQL across popular embedded environments Speed Faster than leading purpose-built databases at time-series, JSON-based or Blob document stores, and SQLite Security Provides data encryption for data at rest and in transit Synchronization Avoid ETL between devices, gateways, branch and cloud environments – improve speed, lower integration cost, and remove security vulnerabilities Explore Features Plurilogic extends Pluriportail with campus-wide student and asset tracking using Zen Edge and RFID Tracking attendance and assets using RF-ID technology and embedded database systems on K-12 and higher education campuses “With Zen data management products, we’ve been able to extend our integrated solutions in the classroom and across campuses to better track and manage students and institutional assets, extending our capabilities to IoT and mobile devices.” Read the Customer Story Friends don’t let friends use flat files ETL, data security, portability, indexing, time-stamping, and other features built-in to modern edge data management solutions no longer require a complex database that doesn’t fit your edge use case. With Zen you get the simplicity of file system APIs with the robust functionality of a real-time database.

Zen is the database infrastructure, supporting extremely high-speed conveyor belt operations in manufacturing and transportation and logistics “From our first adoption to the present of course, we have considered changing data base several times, but when it came to an actual performance test, other powerful databases could not reach Zen’s reading and writing speed at all.” Read the Customer Story Multi-model yet unparalleled performance across all data types – see benchmarks MySQL vs Zen Enterprise SQLite + MySQL vs Zen Edge + Zen Enterprise SQLite + MS SQL vs Zen Enterprise + Zen Core Couchbase + Couchbase Mobile vs Zen Enterprise + Zen Core MongoDB + Mongo DB Mobile vs Zen Enterprise + Zen Core InfluxDB Time-Series DB vs Zen Edge Today’s use cases demand more than SQLite. 10 Reasons to Upgrade Zen Editions Zen Core For mobile/IoT devices Dedicated DB Engine with NoSQL API and SQL Embeds directly in apps as packaged libraries Client and Peer-to-Peer 7 MB footprint Royalty-free development and deployment Learn More Zen Edge Embed in Edge gateways and complex machinery Full Client-Server functionality >100s of concurrent users 50MB footprint Learn More Zen Enterprise Zen Workgroup for Windows Embed/bundle with ERP verticals, and other complex apps >1000s of concurrent users for branch NS central office 175MB footprint Learn More Zen Cloud Server Cloud-ready version of Zen Enterprise Runs in VMs and Containers Embed/bundle in complex SaaS apps or managed services Learn More Shared by all Editions Single modular architecture, code once, run anywhere Zero ETL between Zen and PSQL ensures less integration and time to completion SQL and NoSQL APIs AES-256 bit encryption for data at rest plus zero ETL avoids decryption between development and deployment Singe data table/file size maximum of 64 TB Add-On Software DataExchange Exchange data and two-way synchronization of Zen and PSQL databases Backup and recovery to/from multiple remote replication sites Built in 256-bit encryption Separate replication event handler and replication engine ensure zero impact on operational databases Learn More Backup Agent Backup operational Zen and PSQL databases Works with all major 3rd party backup software API for use embeds in your application Maintains data integrity and continuity without service interruptions Learn More AuditMaster Generates logs of all DB events, delivering a detailed audit trail No changes to the application needed Query and alert capability configurable against specific compliance and security policies Support diagnosis and data recovery of before/after images Real-time support of operational Zen and PSQL databases Learn More Shared by all add-on software API from CLI or embeds directly in your application Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 support Embeddable APIs and configurable dashboards for remote management Upgrade from PSQL to Zen 12 Reasons to Upgrade Use Cases for Edge Intelligence are everywhere and in every industry. From chronic disease management in healthcare to digital twinning in manufacturing, the breadth and depth of use cases for edge intelligence is seemingly limitless. The growth of IoT and Mobile and the infusion of AI into them is driving the need to harness and exploit underlying data at the edge rather than simply tossing it or sending it back to the cloud. Webinar: Edge Data Management Use Cases Eight Indicators you need to modernize your Edge Data Management Do you need to analyze and make real-time decisions at the point of action? Are you able to manage large sets of local and shared persistent data at the edge? Do you need to run on multiple OSes from Android/iOS to Windows/Linux? Do you use multiple programming and scripting languages to develop your edge applications? Do you support varied types of data: JSON, Blob, traditional structured, etc.? Are you struggling to support standalone, peer-to-peer, client-server, Internet/Intranet architectures? Do you operate as stand-alone when disconnected? Can you handle high-speed, multi-channel data collection and local machine learning inference? If you’re struggling with any of these questions, you’re probably struggling with your Edge Data Management and need to modernize. Embedded Database Management for IoT and Edge Environments Edge Intelligent applications need to embed sophisticated data management so developers don’t have to become database managers. Here’s some challenges, constraints, and issues to consider. Download Now Bringing IoT to ERP: One Stop Shopping for Global Shop Solutions Global Shop extends its use of Actian Zen Enterprise Server in its ERP software to shop floor IoT with Actian Zen Core. “With the evolution of the Zen architecture, we can now deploy a small footprint/IoT-enabled database that can run in a serverless mode with just client libraries. That opens up whole new opportunities for customers to put inexpensive IoT-enabled devices into settings that used to require expensive PLC devices.” Read the Customer Story Zen Python demo for Facial Recognition on a Jetson board On a Jeff Fritz podcast, Tom Bates from Actian describes how he used Open Source ML routines and cameras to do real-time facial recognition detection and Zen DB storage on a Jetson. View Now Finally, a Developer Centric NoSQL/SQL Engine that covers all your Edge Data Management Requirements. Developers increasingly need to leverage flat files for resource-constrained applications or real-time data collection and storage, SQLite for client-only platforms, and databases to address JSON/Document data, time-series, and structured transactional data. With Zen, developers get a simple NoSQL API (alternatively, Zen offers full SQL with ACID compliance) that covers standalone embedded application needs at the device or gateway level. Zen also offers publish-subscribe support for 100s or 1000s of downstream devices or upstream servers in client-server, intranet and cloud configurations.
