Progress OpenEdgeŽ RDBMS
OpenEdge RDBMS is an open, flexible,
scalable, and highly available database
solution that supports virtually
unlimited numbers of users and
transactions with minimal administration
and maintenance.
OpenEdge RDBMS (Rational Database
Business Management System) provides
industry-leading performance,
scalability, and reliability. Its
superior, highly-flexible data storage
capabilities allow multiple clients to
access the same data (Progress 4GL, SQL
access via ODBC and JDBC) enabling easy
integration with SQL and Java
applications, such as Business
Intelligence and OLAP tools. OpenEdge
RDBMS simplifies maintenance and
administration with self-configuring and
self-optimizing capabilities to the
extent that most deployment sites do not
need a single DBA (Database
Administrator). A low total cost of
ownership means greater ROI for the
business.
OpenEdge RDBMS features online
administration and backup tools to
reduce planned downtime. It delivers
high availability with data replication,
automatic crash recovery, advanced
backup recovery, and cluster failover.
OpenEdge RDBMS easily scales to handle
thousands of simultaneous users and high
traffic loads, providing fast user
response time regardless of how many
users are connected.
There are three product editions of the
OpenEdge RDBMS to address critical
database storage and management issues.
-
OpenEdge Personal RDBMS provides a
single user database engine ideal
for development or deployment to
PC-based users.
-
OpenEdge Workgroup RDBMS is designed
for deployment in a departmental or
small business environment that
involves a limited number of users
(up to 50). Provides an attractive
price point for midsize
installations while still providing
a full function database server.
-
OpenEdge Enterprise RDBMS is
designed to meet the needs of
midsize to large businesses. With
enhanced database performance and
scalability features to support
virtually unlimited numbers of users
(more than 10,000), the OpenEdge
RDBMS Enterprise Edition provides
the ideal foundation for building
data warehouse, transaction
processing, Web-based, or packaged
applications.
-
OpenEdge Client Networking is
required for run-time access to
OpenEdge RDBMS.
