    Secure

    Supports the latest TLS protocols for data encryption, secure authentication methods for connections and HTTP Proxy for client security while connecting to cloud deployments 

    Robust

    Ensure high availability via application failover and workload balancing without changing application code 

    Easy to Use

    True standards compliance with ODBC and JDBC 

    Versatile

    Supported on every major platform and certified to work with leading applications such as Power BI, Tableau, Informatica, Cognos, SAS, Business Objects and more
