We offer further Firebird IFS servers according to your requirements on request: sales@ibexpert.biz.
Due to their high reliability, our current configuration is delivered with an SSD for the databases. This SSD deployment delivers optimal performance for the Firebird database with maximum stability.
For an almost 100% reliability, we recommend using a second, identical Firebird IFS server, so that the databases can be protected by supplementary hardware with hourly backup/restore, or by replication at extra cost.
The IFSLR servers achieve IBExpert benchmark values between 320% and 640% with the current 64-bit Linux Firebird versions 2.5 and 3.0, and have proven to be extremely fast and reliable in our pre-installed configuration. The value displayed on the right was ascertained with Ubuntu Linux 22 and Firebird 5.
Important: The IFSLR servers are configured to be used exclusively as fast Firebird servers.
You have full access to all Firebird directories and database paths, but cannot install any other software on this server for performance and security reasons.
After the transfer has been carried out together with you by remote maintenance and the Firebird databases have been set up, we will also set up a backup/restore for you, so that your data backups are reliably performed daily. The data backups are additionally secured on any other drive in the network or in the cloud.
Hardware maintenance and RemoteDBA
The RemoteDBA is a database administrator who remotely accesses the database systems to carry out their work.
This offers the advantages of geographical and temporal independence for database maintenance.
Almost all database-relevant activities on physical and virtual environments, such as monitoring, database operation and prompt troubleshooting, are covered by this service.
The contract is for a maintenance period of 4 years per IFS server and is valid from the date of order.
The basic setup of your IFS servers is included in the hardware maintenance and RemoteDBA package and guarantees optimal performance.
Changes and patches are applied by IBExpert in agreement with both parties.
With Windows servers, only the restoration of the operating system as delivered is included; customised settings are only restored at an additional expense and charged separately as part of our IBExpert and Firebird Standard Hotline (prepaid).
In the event of a server failure, IBExpert GmbH will take care of the recovery of the defect IFS server as part of the Hardware Maintenance and RemoteDBA package and, if possible, restore it remotely.
In the event of a hardware defect, the server is replaced with a functioning version.
The statutory warranty period for our devices is 24 months in accordance with § 438 BGB (German Civil Code) as a bring-in service.
If the defect is not covered by legal warranty, then the repair will be carried out for a fee, and the repaired server will be returned to you.
During this period, you are not entitled to an exchange or replacement server.
Maintenance contract and RemoteDBA for 4 years: EUR 1,499.00

Weitere Firebird IFS Server bieten wir entsprechend Ihrer Anforderungen auf Anfrage an: sales@ibexpert.biz.
Aufgrund der hohen Ausfallsicherheit wird unsere aktuelle Konfiguration mit einer SSD für die Datenbanken ausgeliefert. Der Einsatz dieser SSD liefert die optimale Leistung für die Firebird Datenbank bei maximaler Stabilität.
Für eine nahezu 100 prozentige Ausfallsicherheit empfehlen wir, einen zweiten, baugleichen Firebird IFS Server einzusetzen, so dass die Datenbanken durch eine zweite Hardware mit stündlicher Backup/Restore Sicherung, oder gegen Aufpreis, per Replikation abgesichert werden können.
Die IFSLR Server erreichen im IBExpert Benchmark mit der aktuellen 64-Bit Linux Firebird Version 2.5 und 3.0 zuverlässig Werte zwischen 320% und 640% und haben sich in der von uns vorinstallierten Konfiguration als ausgesprochen schnell und zuverlässig gezeigt. Der rechts abgebildete Wert wurde mit Ubuntu Linux 22 und Firebird 5 ermittelt.Wichtig: Die IFSLR Server sind so konfiguriert, dass diese ausschließlich als schnelle Firebird Server eingesetzt werden.
Sie haben vollen Zugriff auf alle Firebird-Verzeichnisse und Datenbankpfade, können auf diesem Server aber aus Performance- und Sicherheitsgründen keine andere Software installieren.
Nach der gemeinsam per Fernwartung durchgeführten Übertragung und der Einrichtung der Firebird Datenbanken richten wir für Sie auch ein Backup/Restore ein, mit dem Datensicherungen täglich zuverlässig durchgeführt werden.
Die Datensicherungen werden auf einem beliebigen anderen Laufwerk im Netzwerk oder in der Cloud zusätzlich abgesichert.
Hardwarewartung und RemoteDBA
Der RemoteDBA ist ein Datenbankadministrator, der seine Tätigkeit via Fernzugriff (Remote Access) auf den Datenbanksystemen durchführt.
Der Vorteil dieser Methode zum Betreuen der Datenbanken ist die räumliche und zeitliche Unabhängigkeit. Es lassen sich fast alle datenbankrelevanten Tätigkeiten auf physischen und virtuellen Umgebungen wie das Monitoring, der Datenbankbetrieb und die unmittelbare Störungsbehebung mit diesem Service abbilden.
Der Vertrag wird je IFS Server für einen Wartungszeitraum von 4 Jahren geschlossen und gilt ab Auftrag.
Die Grundeinrichtung Ihrer IFS Server ist im Hardwarewartung und RemoteDBA Paket enthalten und garantiert eine optimale Performance.
Änderungen und Patches werden in Absprache beider Parteien von IBExpert eingespielt.
Bei den Windows Servern ist nur die Wiederherstellung vom Betriebssystem in den Auslieferungszustand enthalten, angepasste Einstellungen werden als Zusatzaufwand wieder hergestellt und separat im Rahmen unsere IBExpert und Firebird Standard Hotline (Prepaid) berechnet.
Wenn es zu einem Ausfall des Servers kommen sollte, kümmert sich die IBExpert GmbH im Rahmen des Vertrages um die Wiederherstellung des fehlerhaften IFS Servers und stellt diesen per Remote-Zugriff wieder her.
Im Falle eines Hardwarefehlers wird der Server gegen eine funktionierende Version ausgetauscht.
Gesetzliche Gewährleistungsfrist nach §438 BGB, jedoch nur als Bring In Service.
Liegt kein gewährleistungsrelevanter Fehler vor, wird die Reparatur kostenpflichtig bearbeitet und Sie erhalten den reparierten IFS Server zurück.
Ein Anspruch auf ein Austausch-/bzw. Ersatzgerät besteht nicht.

You can also find tips and solutions to a number of frequently asked questions:
IBExpert Benchmark Tool
Free IBExpert Benchmark Tool
IBExpert Developer Studio Benchmark
How does it work?
How do your results compare?
The current version was released in January 2024., and includes some bugfixes, preventing the benchmark to crash on some servers.
We also have a new result, but it is just to measure the network speed between the client and server (we know that it does not show useful values when using the free benchmark as this version always using localhost as the server network address, but especially for the full version incorporated in the IBExpert IDE, it is very helpful to detect slow network configs to understand why Firebird-based applications run slower than expected. Outdated Router technology, network bridge components etc. are often responsible for poor software speed.
The Net Test executes 2000 inserts to a table with 100 columns and sends all params from client to the server in individual params, so this function will create a few hundred thousand very small TCP IP packages over the network and the total time is measured by how many operations were done within each second.
A good value on fast networks should have around >=400 IOPs. If it is much slower, you should ask your network support to check the speed of components used.
It is not part of the calculated percentage result values, and also the time it takes is not used there, since these result values use minimal network traffic to measure the server speed and not the network speed.
Benchmark results on an IFSLR Server using Ubuntu Linux 22 and Firebird 5
Compare your server's performance to our IFS servers!
How do you measure the performance of your own server or your clients'? Have you ever tried to compare the database speed of your Firebird server with new server hardware? Is a XEON Machine better than an Opteron? What improvements can you expect from fast SAS hard disks, RAID controllers or Enterprise SSDs?
This simple but effective tool gives you a reference benchmark, based on our recommended IFS Servers. Using IBExpert Benchmark you can generate and compare a reproducible speed index for your Firebird Server hardware. On average, our IFS servers with Firebird are 5 to 10 times faster than the server or virtual machines that our customers have previously used.
Benchmark (extended) results using Firebird 4.0 on an IFSML Server
To perform the IBExpert Benchmark at your customers and also take advantage of the extended and XXL benchmarks, you can use either the IBExpert Developer Studio customer version or the IBExpert Day Edition. To perform standard benchmarks locally, you may use our Free IBExpert Benchmark Tool.
Free IBExpert Benchmark Tool
You can use the IBExpert Benchmark Tool free of charge on any Windows computer. This limited special version allows standard benchmarks to be performed locally and includes Firebird 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 versions, executed in application mode, so you do not need to install Firebird on the server to be tested.
The Benchmark Tool is quick and easy to use: download it here: https://ibexpert.net/benchmark/setup_benchmark.exe, install it on the drive that you want to test.
Since September 2021 the benchmark now uses the latest Firebird versions 2.5.9 and 3.0.7, and can also use Firebird 4.0.0 with the 32K page size. IBExpert Benchmark 2.0 was released on 17th November 2021.
The Benchmark Tool tests 10 parallel running threads.
Running the benchmark will not overwrite any programs already in use, nor does it install anything, so you can safely run the benchmark on your server. The IBExpert Benchmark Tool does not use an existing Firebird installation and will only test the drive on which it is installed.
Select the Firebird version you wish to use for your benchmark in the left-hand panel: Firebird 2.5 Superserver, Firebird 3.0 Superserver or Firebird 4.0 Superserver. The selection in this free version has been limited so that even users with no Firebird knowledge or experience can easily perform this quick benchmark test.
The right-hand window in this free version is read-only. (In the paid version you can enter any and all of this information, e.g. define your own connection string and client library file).
Start the benchmark by clicking Start Benchmark in the bottom left-hand corner.
Important: you will need to install and run this as Admin.
Note: Should you receive an error message, please download and install the current version.
The benchmark process and results are explained below under How does it work?
If you would like a more flexible version of our Benchmark, which allows you to change various test options, test multiple drives, various Firebird instances or even perform a benchmark on a Linux operating system or remote servers, you should use the following Benchmark, included in all IBExpert customer version IDEs.
IBExpert Developer Studio Benchmark
This version offers standard, extended and XXL benchmarks, which can be performed on the Firebird 2.5 Superserver, Classic server, Superclassic server or Firebird 3.0 and Firebird 4.0 32- or 64-bit, Windows, Linux etc. either locally or remote. The Benchmark software is implemented as a 32-bit Windows software, but it can connect to any remote Firebird installation.
If you wish to collect the results for comparison with different hard and software combinations, enter a brief description of the configuration to be tested, along with the recipient email address for the statistic report.
Benchmark (extended) results using Firebird 4.0 on an IFSML Server
Then add the required database connection information - you need to set a new path for the newly generated database; if you specify the path of an existing database, you will receive a warning message:
Specify the Firebird client, as well as the user name and password (the standard SYSDBA and masterkey). Finally click Start benchmark to run the benchmark test.
IBExpert now creates the demo database, which always follows the same guidelines. It then executes the INITALL procedure in this database. Following this parallel threads are created, which attempt to input further orders into the database. Following the Drive Test, the CPU Test test then is executed.
The results are displayed in the lower window: the drive and the CPU index are percentage index values comparing to our our IFS Server v. 6.0 series, which we rated at the time at 100%.
If you have specified an email address, you will receive the results by mail, with the heading as specified in the Please add a short description of the Firebird server hard- and software field.
How does it work?
Based on a demo database, which is created automatically, the standard benchmark, which is also included in the Free IBExpert Benchmark Tool, runs approximately 8 million operations (individual insert/update/delete/select statements) using 10 simultaneous processes in 2 runs on databases created with different parameters to demonstrate the impact of the physical drive speed.
The extended benchmark uses 50 parallel processes (simulating 50 concurrent users) and the XXL benchmark simulates 250 concurrent users with its 250 simultaneous processes.
Drive Test
The Drive Test is simply creating a benchmark database from a script. Within the Drive Test we changed the value of the so-called cache buffers (DefaultDBCachePages in firebird.conf) to 50, the smallest value possible. Then a stored procedure is executed inside the database to generate a lot of test data. In the Drive Test approximately 850,000 operations (i.e. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT statements) are carried out. This really measures the speed of the drive, because of the low-level of cache that is being used, is responsible for making a lot of I/O operations on the external drive.
- Create DB - shows the time in seconds that it takes to create the Demo database.
- TMP - Temporary file management that is used when for example, Firebird does not have any indices, which it can use, or it needs to perform some GROUP BY, HAVING or similar instructions.
- Thread test - this is the multi-threaded test. If you have for example a test on this machine, and you have 1 thread or 10 threads running, you will also see this running in the Task Manager. This can result in huge differences on different machines.
- Result - the basic value that is calculated here displays the combined results of the drive test, and we compare this value to a server that was distributed by ourselves around 2010 which had 100% speed. In reality, when you test on typical customer machines, especially in virtual environments, you will often see values of as little as 30%. Typical values are often in the range of 100%-150%.
CPU Test
This category calculates the percentage value for multi-threaded CPU tests with 5000 pages cache result to better see the advantages when using Firebird 3. This means that it no longer needs any operations on the disk. You will see a much faster result. The Thread Test, the multi-threaded line - with this one 10 parallel threads are always executed, which means it generates several thousand new orders inside the Demo database simultaneously. The Threads value here is the most important value, when you later have to check whether the server is really fast. Only this Threads value is recalculated to the Thread Test.
Thread Test
The Thread Test simply we take the CPU Test / Threads value and recalculate it. Thread Test simply means that we take the CPU Test / Threads value and compare it to the original machine. This machine is compared to our original machine as an index value.
How do your results compare?
Compare your server's performance to our IFS servers! This simple but effective tool gives you a reference benchmark, based on our recommended IFS Servers.
Our servers will show you a typical Firebird 2.5 Superserver performance of at least 200% for the CPU and at least 200% for the HDD Test with our IFS server series), und using Firebird 3.0 at least 230% for the CPU and at least 500% for the HDD Test. Results under 100% indicate an outdated server performance.
Important: This benchmark gives you a value to compare several hardware or software configurations running the Firebird server.
You will notice a huge performance increase, when comparing a Windows environment mit a Linux environment on the same hardware. This is partially due to the Windows NTFS file system, which is standard on Windows.
If, for example, you want to restart the Benchmark, especially on virtual machines, we always recommend executing this Benchmark several times, because sometimes when you execute it again, you can achieve better or worse values. This can happen because other jobs are being executed by the virtual machine host.
If the results are poor, click in the results window. You will be automatically redirected to our homepage. Here you can view our current offers for our really fast IFS Firebird servers.
Changing the server to a more powerful hardware might improve the speed by 100%. Additionally optimizing your software and database operations can often improve the speed by more than 1000%. Ask sales@ibexpert.biz for further support.

IBExpert and Firebird Training and Workshops
Our training sessions using online video transmission combine personal training with physical independence: promptly and flexibly and tailored to your requirements
Perhaps your team is also located at different sites?
All employees can take part in our training courses, even from their home office.
The number of participants does not affect the cost.
The coaching days can be scheduled at relatively short notice and you and your team will not be absent from productive work for too long during the course.
The course can take place in a much shorter period of time. We train in blocks of 2-4 hours at a time.
We tailor all topics individually to your company and the requirements of your team, taking into account the level of knowledge of the participants and also look at tackling current projects.
The training courses can thus be structured in blocks and/or key topics can be scheduled for different employees, and can of course also be adjusted during an ongoing training session.
Our workshops are complemented by video recordings, which we capture during the workshops and make them available to you in digital form.
Workshops are much more effective when you structure them interactively. We offer our courses as interactive workshops and not in a classic lecture format.
You can send your training enquiry to register@ibexpert.biz
We coordinate the agenda, the dates and the technical implementation together with yourselves.
Topics
Upgrading from Firebird 2.5 to 3.0/4.0
Setting up a permanent SQL monitoring on your own database
Applying the Trace API and results for optimization
Setting up and understanding basic master-slave replication
Working with multiple databases and transparent external blob storage

IBExpert Firebird Replication
We implement Firebird technology-based replication for our clients. In our view, the majority of marketed all-in-one replication tools are of limited usefulness and tend to be a waste of time. Only in Firebird 4 is a basic replication integrated, but this still leaves many wishes unfulfilled.
The technology we use has already proven itself in real-world use at hundreds of locations and with databases of up to 500 GB.
Our technology can be used for all Firebird versions from 2.5 onwards and masters partial replication, the rules of which can be determined and adapted by the customer without having to define complicated INI files or GUIs. The implementation is based on Firebird stored procedures and trigger source codes, which allow our customers to extend and adapt them themselves at a later date.
It is important to us that our customers do not have to use software compiled only for this purpose!
We teach the complete process of replication that we implement in such a way that the customer acquires the ability to integrate it into his software, and to initialise and run the corresponding processes (synchronous replication in real time/synchronous replication in near real time/asynchronous replication/master-slave/master-multi-slave/multi-master) himself based on our technology according to his own specifications.
We distinguish whether our system is used, for example, only on one server as a backup, or only at locations in a corporate group, or whether the replication is to be passed on with the customer's own software to hundreds or thousands of end customer installations. Therefore, we always request a brief description of the customer structure and approximate current customer numbers where replication is to be deployed.
Our offer includes not only the replication technology implemented individually by ourselves on the basis of the customer's databases, but also a recommended on-site or remote workshop to impart the complete technology. We grant the right to unlimited distribution to end customers with your own software directly with the order confirmation, without any further complex licensing procedures.
For later extensions or adaptations to newer Firebird versions, we are available as required within the scope of our IBExpert and Firebird Hotline. Unlimited adaptations can also be carried out by the customer.

Please provide us with a brief description of your application and, if possible, a metadata-only backup of your database.
| What our customers have to say about our replication: Database conversion from Firebird 2.1 to Firebird 3.0 and implementation of a database replication "Our brief was to migrate a database of about 150 GB (which originally emerged from BDE (Paradox), migrated to InterBase 6 and later from Firebird 1.0 to 2.1) to Firebird 3 within a short period of time, and construct a replication over a VPN line. ""We contacted IBExpert GmbH, who made us an offer corresponding to our budget.. "Following a detailed analysis of our database by the IBExpert Team, it unfortunately transpired that the estimated costs could not be maintained. "However, we quickly agreed to take over the necessary database reconstruction ourselves, so that we were back on budget. We received valuable and practical tips from the IBExpert team which facilitated the implementation. "In order to improve our knowledge regarding Firebird 3 and replication, we visited their Bootcamp in 2017. A great event, due to Mr. Klemt’s competence and extensive knowledge all participants took a lot of information away with them from this event and no question remained unanswered. "The database rebuild and replication implementation took place over a weekend. We could fully rely on Mr. Klemt, who was available late into the evening and who made a significant contribution to the success of the project. The replication was remotely set up by him and put into operation in the short frame available, so that on Monday the remodeled Firebird 3 database including replication was in production. "In conclusion, I would like to say that anyone wishing to replicate Firebird or seeking solutions in the database environment is in the best hands with Mr. Klemt; he does not mince words, he is competent, his training and communication is certainly not boring. He has proved to be a fair partner for us." Uwe Cramer, Intellekta GmbH |
