Database and Cloud Connectivity with RAD Studio

With RAD Studio, your applications have a wide variety of high performance connectivity options with popular databases and cloud services. A flexible architecture enables you build clients and services that can connect with multiple platforms, devices and a broad variety of backend data and services.

High performance access to all your data sources

RAD Studio's FireDAC and dbExpress™ data access in Delphi and C++Builder enables your application to seamlessly connect to a wide variety of data sources while retaining vendor-specific database features and native performance. You get native high speed connectivity for Microsoft SQL Server, InterBase, DB2, Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, Firebird, SQLite, PostgreSQL and additional connectivity via ODBC. HTML5 Builder provides database connectivity to InterBase and other databases via PHP database connectivity standards.

Build data and app services that everyone can use

RAD Studio's RAD Cloud with DataSnap enables you to create data and application services that can be accessed from client apps on Windows, Web, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry and more. DataSnap servers support JSON, REST, COM, HTTP, TCP/IP, PHP, JavaScript, .NET and XML for ultra flexible connectivity from virtually any platform.

Use Amazon and Azure Cloud services

RAD Studio's RAD Cloud components make it easy to use cloud services from Amazon and Microsoft Azure. Delphi and C++Builder support cloud data storage and access of blobs, queues of messages and tables on Windows Azure as well as Amazon Simple Queue Services, Amazon Simple DB, and Amazon Simple Storage Service.

Move your data and services to the Cloud

RAD Studio's RAD Cloud deployment enables you to easily deploy your VCL or FireMonkey data and application services to either Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Windows Azure. Once your services are deployed to the cloud they are accessible from virtually any platform or device from anywhere in the world.
