What makes eXtremeDB the ideal IoT & AIoT edge database management system?
The efficient design and unmatched speed have been giving developers a competitive edge since 2001. Platform independent eXtremeDB with Active Replication Fabric™ combines advanced, easy to use, development tools with elastic scalability, data availability, safety and information security at the edge and for the cloud. No other database management system offers developers more features to choose from.
Active Replication Fabric™ powers the eXtremeDB IoT storage architecture and mitigates connectivity issues
Active Replication Fabric is McObject’s distributed transaction replication technology for embedded and IoT systems. It provides the APIs, communication protocols and runtime services that transparently move committed transactions between Edge Clients, embedded controllers, gateways and servers, allowing applications to work exclusively with local data while maintaining a consistent distributed storage architecture.
Key capabilities include:
- Bidirectional transaction replication
- Multi-tier replication (for example, edge → gateway → server)
- Support for ultra-lightweight eXtremeDB Edge Clients, enabling devices requiring as little as 8 KB of memory to participate directly in the distributed storage architecture
- Automatic synchronization over intermittent or low-bandwidth networks
- Built-in security
- Data compression for bandwidth-constrained links
Learn more about Active Replication Fabric, including replication topologies, synchronization, recovery, APIs and deployment models.

NEW: eXtremeDB Edge Client
The eXtremeDB Edge Client is lightweight transactional storage for highly resource-constrained devices. It extends Active Replication Fabric to systems requiring as little as 8 KB of memory, allowing devices that cannot host a complete embedded database to participate directly in the distributed storage architecture.
The Edge Client supports multiple related data types and preserves referential integrity before replication. Even the smallest devices become full participants in the distributed storage architecture rather than simple message producers.
Uses the same schema, data model and transactional semantics as every other eXtremeDB edition, allowing the same application architecture to scale naturally from tiny edge devices to embedded controllers, gateways and enterprise servers.

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.
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.
