HCL Informix® 15

HCL Informix® is a high-performance, multi-model database designed for enterprises that require seamless data management across hybrid, on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. Purpose-built for transactional speed, integration flexibility, and operational resilience, HCL Informix® offers several key advantages:

• Multi-model native: HCL Informix® enables developers to work across diverse data formats—relational (SQL), non-relational (NoSQL, JSON), time series, and spatial data—all within a single database engine. This eliminates the need for external data platforms or custom ETL pipelines and empowers developers to build more adaptive, data-rich applications.
• High-performance transactional processing: Engineered for speed at scale, HCL Informix® processes over 2 million transactions per second with full consistency, concurrency, and efficient resource usage—supporting hundreds of thousands of concurrent users without compromise.
• Always-on availability, clustering, and replication: HCL Informix® delivers enterprise-grade reliability with active-active clustering, cross-region replication, and standby server support. It ensures high availability and data continuity across mission-critical applications, even in geographically distributed or disconnected environments.
• Automated data management: Built-in “smart triggers” enable event-driven workflows and push notifications—without requiring schema changes—streamlining app logic and reducing developer overhead. The InformixHQ management console offers a modern interface for monitoring, tuning, and administering databases in real time.
• Lightweight footprint: With a minimal install size just over 100 MB, HCL Informix® can be silently deployed in minutes—even on resource-constrained systems like industrial gateways or edge devices—making it ideal for embedded and distributed applications.
• Simplified deployments: HCL Informix® on Cloud adapts to your infrastructure strategy with flexible deployment options, including this VM-based subscription option. Our cloud-friendly architecture supports fast provisioning and predictable cost control.

By combining speed, scale, and reliability in a compact footprint, HCL Informix® helps organizations modernize without disruption. From powering high-volume transactions to managing diverse data types in hybrid environments, HCL Informix® delivers the consistency, flexibility, and control today’s developers and IT leaders demand.
