DATA CONNECTIVITY PRODUCT FEATURES
Progress DataDirect Connect and OpenAccess database drivers offer many advanced, enterprise-class features that are 100%-driver implemented, requiring no special database vendor tools or client libraries.
| Anatomy of a Driver | DataDirect Connect drivers and providers provide an unparalleled set of features that provide critical development, run-time and production benefits. |
| Broad Support from One Vendor | DataDirect can serve all your data connectivity needs, for any API (JDBC, ODBC, ADO.NET, and OLE DB), for any major database—SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MySQL and more, while supporting all major platforms—Windows, Linux, and UNIX. |
| Performance | DataDirect drivers dramatically outperform competitors in throughput capacity, CPU efficiency, and memory footprint as proven in performance benchmarks. This translates into faster response times, better scalability, and less hardware required to support applications. Learn more. |
| Security | Industry-standard security features such as TLS / SSL data encryption and Kerberos authentication are incorporated into our drivers to reinforce your security strategy. Learn more. |
