Just how powerful is a Firebird server really?
Before the first users start complaining about slow response times:
Test your server with the IBExpert Benchmark – you’ll see the result at a glance.

The IBExpert Benchmark is particularly valuable for software vendors and support teams who need to analyse performance issues reported by customers and objectively determine whether bottlenecks are caused by the server hardware.

With a current IBExpert Developer Studio subscription or the IBExpert Day Edition, the Extended and XXL benchmarks are also available.
Up to 30 times better performance for Firebird databases
The IBExpert Benchmark highlights the significant difference: depending on the system being compared, our specially developed Firebird IFS servers achieve up to 30 times higher overall performance than typical standard servers.
Ideal for large databases, large numbers of users and demanding applications – without the need for any changes to your software.

Boost the performance of your existing Firebird server hardware or VM with the IBExpert RemoteDBA service
Would you like to use IBExpert RemoteDBA but already have your own server? It is often not necessary to replace all your hardware. Following an analysis and a practical benchmark, we will, if required, recommend specific additional hardware that you can then purchase yourself.
This allows you to optimise your existing server cost-effectively and significantly speed it up.
This service is available worldwide.
