actian/actianx repository overview

⁠Actian X Docker Image

⁠Actian X

The Actian Ingres Hybrid Database includes the record breaking analytic engine from Actian's Vector to enable a new class of applications that can mix OLTP and analytic queries, with each query being directed to the appropriate execution engine. Actian X contains many new management, development and security features.

The Actian Ingres 12.0 release introduces several enhancements, including performance optimization, workload automation, database management improvements, and cloud-enabled capabilities, that drive business continuity. The 12.0 release has new capabilities designed to support mission-critical business and modernization efforts, such as:

• Workload Manager 2.0 provides better queue management and allocation of resources by user, role, and group.

• Containerized UDFs offer improved isolation and support for using SQL, Python, and JavaScript languages in working with data

• Backup to Cloud and Disaster Recovery for on-premises and cloud deployments using Virtual Machines (VMs) or Docker containers in Kubernetes.

• Up to 20% faster analytical queries using the X100 engine

• Improvements that harden security against brute force and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks from malicious actors.
