Actian Zen

Actian Zen is a database product family designed for secure, scalable edge data management that supports on-premise, cloud, mobile, and IoT applications. Zen offers persistent local and distributed data management across applications deployed in enterprise, branch, and remote field environments, including mobile devices and IoT. It lets you develop and deploy on Intel and ARM environments, Windows 10, Windows 2016 and 2019 Servers, Windows IoT Core and Windows Nano Servers, macOS and iOS, Linux, Android, and Raspbian Linux distributions in order to ensure its compatibility with the latest application requirements for local data and embedded analytics.

Actian Zen provides a NoSQL API for local data processing and analytics. It allows you to leverage a large number of popular programming languages (C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Perl, PHP, and so on), and developers can choose between several methods of direct access to data without going through a relational layer. Zen databases (except Zen Core) also offer SQL access for reporting, querying, and local or remote transactions. This enables fast read and quick insert, update, and delete performance alongside full ACID response on writes and ANSI SQL queries. Zen supports SQL access via JDBC/ODBC and NoSQL access via the Btrieve and Btrieve 2 APIs.

Embedding Actian Zen into your system provides a variety of value-adding features and functionality, including end-user personalisation and multichannel context, decision support, hybrid cloud support, provisioning, management, and security and governance. Moreover, with both relational and direct data access for JSON, BLOB, and time-series data, self-tuning, reporting, data portability, exceptional reliability, easy upgrades, and backward compatibility, developers can use Zen to deliver applications at scale across on-premise data centers, hybrid cloud, branch, and remote field environments.
