Technical Overview
InterBase can be deployed either as a Server Edition (for Windows and Linux) or embedded directly into your applications using InterBase ToGo (for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android).
| Server Edition | Embedded Editions (InterBase ToGo Pro, ToGo Lite, ToGo Mobile) |
|---|---|
|
Scales from single-user to hundreds of concurrent users and includes full disaster recovery features such as incremental backups, journaling, and point-in-time recovery. |
Can be used as stand-alone databases inside your apps or as client drivers to connect to InterBase Server. They enable offline capabilities without deploying separate client drivers. |
