IBM Informix product lines

From small boxes to global companies

Embedded in hardware, Informix starts with an installation size of 80 MB (megabytes). Based on this, the special architecture allows dynamic scaling up to high-performance - zero-downtime applications and large databases with terabytes of data.

The Informix Advanced Editions extend the high-end transaction processing with analytic in memory warehouse functions. Transactional workloads and business analytics - even of large corporations - can be executed simultaneously within one database system.

Editions for all types of applications

Informix is the first enterprise database system that is technologically suitable for IoT, Industry 4.0, transactional OLTP and analytic OLAP.
