 | Highlights
IBM UniVerse® is an extended relational (MultiValue™) data server optimized for embedding in superior solutions and is ideal for markets which target small to medium businesses, as well as larger enterprises.
- Robust high-availability capabilities including point-in-time recovery and the ability to recover a single record from a specified file
- Efficient encryption of data at rest with flexible encryption key management
- Enhanced licensing and authorization process offers streamlined configuration while protecting licensed assets
- Highly scalable, low-cost data management system with many innovative features
- Support for Web services client protocols including XML and SOAP
- New U2 Web Services Development tool with a configurable SOAP server to quickly create and deploy Web services from BASIC subroutines and UniVerse queries via the industry-standard Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
- Includes UniObjects for .NET -- a native, scalable, high performance API for developing in the Microsoft .NET framework
- Robust features for high availability, failover and data replication available
- IBM WebSphere MQ support
- National Language Support (NLS) using Unicode standard
- Transaction management with support for nested transactions
- Broad support for open standards-based SQL interfaces such as JDBC, OLEDB and ODBC
Benefits
- MultiValue architecture requires fewer tables whose sizes are dynamically managed by the data server. UniVerse sites require less data server administration with smaller sites having little to no resources allocated.
- Shortened development cycles are possible due to ease of data server design along with a tightly integrated development environment.
- UniVerse supports a broad range of information management applications with excellent performance and reliability. As a result, a large number of industry solution providers use UniVerse to develop and support their applications. This allows the client to more quickly satisfy their requirements by buying, rather than building, solutions.
Features
- Connection Pooling (CP) enables developers to design and deploy applications that do not use persistent connections to the data server, such as in a Web environment. Connection Pools are authorized separately and do not consume data server licenses.
- UV/Net offers local access to data on remote UniVerse servers.
- Transaction Logging provides warm-start recoverability in case of system or media failures.
- Data Replication provides an automatic and reliable way to deliver read-only copies of UniVerse files to other UniVerse systems.
- Automatic Data Encryption offers a powerful yet simple means of protecting sensitive data with little or no application changes. Data can be encrypted at the column (field) level or encrypting entire records, while access is granted at the user or group level for role-based security.
- Device Licensing for Server Edition offers the ability to customize the number of connections per device such as a user's PC. This provides greater flexibility when fewer than 10 connections per device are required and the additional value of Enterprise Edition is not an alternative.
