Informix Free Editions

Informix Innovator-C Edition

For customers looking for a robust and powerful database environment that can support small production workloads, this edition provides the most widely used data processing functionality including limited Enterprise Replication and High Availability clustering. Available on all supported platforms, this edition is limited to 1 socket with no more than 4 cores and a total of 2 GB of RAM operating from the same Install.

IBM Informix Innovator-C Edition is a no-charge, production-ready, community-edition data server that is designed to help developers, mid-market partners, ISVs, and small businesses accelerate time to value and reduce total cost of ownership. Informix Innovator-C Edition is part of the IBM Informix data server family that is designed to support autonomic administration, higher performance, and greater reliability. It includes the powerful Enterprise Replication feature that helps replicate data between two Informix Innovator-C Edition installations for scalability and availability. It also includes Informix HDR with a warm standby node for automatic failover.

IBM Informix Developer Edition

For application development and testing only, this edition packs the full suite of Informix functionality into a very attractive price point: free! The Developer Edition includes all the functionality available in the Informix-Ultimate edition but does contain scalability constraints including processing, memory and storage limitations. It is available on a wide range of operating systems in 32- and 64-bit versions where appropriate. You can upgrade from the Developer Edition directly to any other edition simply by installing the new database binaries.
