Actian Launches Next-Generation Zen™ Embedded Database for Mobile and IoTActian, the leader in hybrid cloud data analytics, today announced the general availability of its new Zen™ V15 embedded database for mobile and IoT. Actian Zen V15 addresses the demanding needs of today's on-premise, cloud, mobile, and IoT application developers by providing persistent local and distributed data across intelligent applications deployed in enterprise, branch, and remote field environments. Actian's Zen V15 database delivers breakthrough levels of performance and has been certified to work with the Intel (News - Alert) OpenNESS and Smart Edge MEC platforms. "Edge applications and devices increasingly rely on unsupervised machine learning inference at the edge to improve automation and real-time decision-making," said Lewis Carr, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Actian. "Actian Zen V15 edge data management delivers against a broad and demanding set of requirements including leveraging a variety of hardware architectures, operating environments, networks, communications interfaces, and languages to offer comprehensive support, performance, and the flexibility modern enterprises need to stay competitive." The third generation of Actian's Zen database family, Actian Zen V15 software, connects mobile and IoT devices to gateways, the cloud, and traditional on-premise databases. The Actian Zen V15 offering is a cloud-ready edge database that embraces the cloud ecosystem, harnessing the power of advanced architecture to eliminate ETL and latency, while also reducing security risks associated with decryption and vulnerable or exposed code. In addition, Actian's Zen V15 database delivers breakthrough modularity and performance on IoT and mobile devices, gateways, laptops, desktops, servers, and cloud platforms, redefining modern edge computing and maintaining backward compatibility for remote and branch office environments. Customers can use Actian's Zen database to leverage the power of 5G wireless broadband for fast and secure data processing at the edge and in the cloud. "The flexibility to run the same database with local AES 256-bit encryption and underlying file formats at the device, gateway, edge server, and cloud environments provides a way to avoid decrypting until actual operations are performed at the point of action without transformations or added ecurity vulnerabilities," said Desmond Tan, Senior Director of Engineering and Product Management for the Zen database product line at Actian. "We've run performance tests for large data writes and reads, a core application scenario between devices at the edge and the network infrastructure against SQLite and MySQL, and found that we have higher performance for each individually - as well as together." Other key benefits and features of the Actian Zen V15 database family include:
Edge data management that locally supports persistent data as well as device to device, device to gateway, and device to the cloud is essential to meeting latency, security, and sovereignty requirements for 5G and MEC environments. Actian's Zen offering is a database partner for various edge applications optimized for Intel Smart Edge Open to build and provision innovative edge services. Actian customers and partners applaud the Actian Zen embedded database:
