ROCK, Texas, June 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Actian, the data and analytics
division of HCLSoftware, today announced the launch of Actian Zen
16.0, the newest version of its innovative embedded database. To
help businesses run faster, smarter applications on the edge, Zen
16.0 is designed for real-time data processing across mobile, IoT
devices, edge gateways, and complex machinery.
Actian developed Zen 16.0 to capture the growing demand for edge
computing. IDC predicts edge computing will account for
$232 billion in spending this year*.
Zen 16.0 simplifies and optimizes edge computing for
resource-constrained environments that range from industrial IoT
and connected healthcare to smart cities. Actian Zen 16.0
introduces performance enhancements and new features designed to
improve efficiency and functionality for the more than 13,000
organizations currently using Zen, as well as attracting new
customers.
"Actian Zen16.0 is designed to meet the needs of modern embedded
systems and edge computing," said Emma
McGrattan, senior vice president of engineering and product
at Actian. "Its secure and scalable design allows for easy data
synchronization with Zero-ETL, making it perfect for developers
creating intelligent applications that can deliver real-time
decisioning from edge to cloud to give a business competitive
advantage."
Zen 16.0 delivers the small footprint with fast read and write
access and automatic administration that resource-constrained
environments require. Zen16.0 addresses the need to support
high-performance intelligent applications with minimal
administration, particularly for frequent data update use cases
like sensor data collection to monitor patient well-being or asset
management tracking using RFID scanners.
Zen 16.0 ensures seamless data synchronization from edge to
cloud, supports both SQL and NoSQL data access, and leverages
popular programming languages to empower developers in building
low-latency embedded applications.
"Actian Zen provides a high performance, lightweight, and
self-managed embedded database for our business," said Trent Maynard, Director of Product &
Engineering at Global Shop Solutions. "Zen continues to
deliver exactly what we need and we're enthusiastic about the new
capabilities of Zen 16.0 to empower our business operations even
further."
Detailed here, Zen 16.0 includes improved L2 cache sizing, page
preload for large data files, Kafka data stream support, EasySync -
a new datasync utility, enhanced JSON support, Btrieve2 Python
package, Docker and Kubernetes container support, and extended
index key length.
