IoT Software Development Toolkit
With Active Replication Fabric™ for end-to-end data management.
Why use eXtremeDB IoT SDK?
Learn more about the unique IoT software development toolkit (SDK) that eliminates data loss due to connectivity issues, and offers support on all platforms from edge to cloud.
Active Replication Fabric™
Active Replication Fabric stages data during network malfunctions or outages, then sends all the relevant historical data to the network as soon as the connection is reestablished. Data flow is fully automated, and APIs provide automatic or on-demand data exchange between collection points and servers.
Active Replication Fabric offers reliable data management for IoT by solving 5 challenges for IoT system developers:
- Bidirectional Replication
- Intermittent connections
- Multi-tier replication (e.g. edge-to-gateway-to-gateway-to-cloud)
- Security
- Compression to maximize limited bandwidth networks
eXtremeDB’s xPanel dashboard includes a visual network discovery tool that greatly simplifies managing, monitoring and leveraging eXtremeDB’s tracing capability.
Watch this 3 minute video to learn more about eXtremeDB with Active Replication Fabric™ and what makes it reliable data management for IoT systems.

Built-in Security
eXtremeDB IoT SDK protects your database with encryption, and CRC32 to detect tampering.
Optional IoT SDK modules include:
SQL
eXtremeDB IoT SDK is an ideal solution for application development in fields where ultra-fast responsiveness is a must and SQL is the dominant database language.
High Availability
An active-passive distributed database system for systems that demand “five-nines” reliability (99.999% up-time).
Cluster
An active-active distributed database system that manages databases across multiple hardware nodes, enabling two or more servers to share the workload.

Distributed Database Systems and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing
A distributed database system is one in which the data belonging to a single logical database is distributed to two or more physical databases. Beyond that simple definition, there are a confusing number of possibilities for when, how, and why the data is distributed. Some are applicable to edge and/or fog computing, some others are applicable to fog and/or cloud computing, and some are applicable across the entire spectrum of edge, fog and cloud computing.
Will the Real IMDS Please Stand Up?
In-memory database systems (IMDSs) have changed the software landscape, enabling “smarter” faster, applications and sparking mergers and acquisitions involving the largest technology companies. But IMDSs’ popularity has sparked a flurry of products falsely claiming to be in-memory database systems. Understanding the distinction is critical to determining the performance, cost and ultimately the success or failure of a solution. This white paper examines specific products, seeking to answer the question, “is it really an in-memory database system?”
Portability Techniques for Embedded Systems Data Management
For embedded systems, database code portability means more than the ability to compile and execute on different platforms: portability strategies also tie into performance. Software developed for a specific OS, hardware platform and compiler often performs poorly when moved to a new environment, and optimizations to remedy this are very time-consuming. Truly portable embedded systems data management code carries its optimization with it, requiring the absolute minimum adaptation to deliver the best performance in new environments.
We are only as successful as your next project.
eXtremeDB was built to meet – or exceed – the needs of professional developers.
