The agreement assigns iBase.ru the status of an official dealer of Red Soft and grants it the right to supply the DBMS Red Database and other software products of Red Soft Corporation (Red Warehouse, Red Control) throughout the RF territory and former CIS countries.

iBase.ru customers will now have the capability to have a closer look at the first Russian enterprise database management system with open source, DBMS Red Database v. 2.0, and obtain toll-free consultancy from iBase's specialists regarding its installation.

Product resume:
Red Database is a high-end up-to-date open source DBMS.

The Red Database kernel is based on Firebird 2.0 - one of the best established, well-known and globally widespread open source DBMS in the world, which is used in solutions of various scale: from the built in hardware systems and solutions for small businesses to IT-systems of largest transnational corporations with databases up to tens of terabytes and tens of millions transactions per day.

Red Database 2.0 is the most high-performance, reliable open source DBMS with one of the most up-to-date architectures. It features the following technical advantages:

  • Support for all major platforms and operating systems (Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, Linux family, BSD Unix, IBM AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, etc.);
  • Support for 64 bit systems;
  • Support for multi-CPU and multi-core hardware platforms;
  • High performance – Red Database directly competes with such DBMS as Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Oracle 10g, PostgreSQL 8, offering more flexible prices;
  • Database can be stored in one individual file;
  • Capability of hot backup and incremental backup (when only an updated part (as compared to a previous backup) of a database is backed up rather than the whole database), including procedures using hardware backup solutions;
  • Bridging modules are available almost for all available development environments (drivers for ODBC, JDBC, C/C++, C#, Java, Delphi, PHP, Python, Perl, VB, etc.), deliverables of module tests, stable operation guaranteed;
  • You can work in the local mode embedded in the software as DLL without individual DBMS installation and setup, including support for embedding into a Java Virtual Machine;
  • Backward compatibility with databases of previous Firebird versions;
  • Multi-version architecture;
  • Compliance with most requirements of ISO/ANSI SQL;
  • Modular architecture;;
  • Low-end equipment requirements which support utilization for small databases and solutions;
  • Extensive capabilities to extend DBMS functionality through modules;
  • The kernel originally based on Multimedia Graphics Architecture (MGA) (which appeared in other DBMS of later versions, e.g., in MS SQL Server 2005, PostgreSQL 6.5);
  • Full compliance with the principles of Atomicity - Consistency - Isolation - Durability (ACID).

 

Solution advantages from the organizational point of view:

  • By selecting a well-known use-proven open source DBMS as a core, we can use both the use- and time-proved DBMS code and considerable opportunity of DBMS testing with thousands of users worldwide;
  • ВRed Soft Corporation has decided to engage specialists that developed Firebird DBMS core components to develop and maintain Red Database, which was an important organizational solution. Also, we have established our own labs for DBMS development and maintenance in RF, where programmers are trained by our key specialists;
  • Red Soft has established partner relationships with leading Russian and foreign companies developing extensions and instruments for Firebird DBMS, which put all most important extensions for Firebird DBMS, currently available on the market, into our Red Database installation pack;
