FireMonkey is designed to make your life easier with a flexible application architecture and connectivity options. One platform gives you the scalability and extensibility to connect with multiple devices, databases, protocols and services. So you can handle any architecture requirement.

Ultra-high performance access to the most popular databases

FireMonkey includes built-in component based access to MS SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, InterBase and Firebird databases. And of course, FireMonkey's data access is native which, once again, means high performance.

Bring your data to life with LiveBindings

LiveBindings allow you to connect any type of information to any FireMonkey UI or graphic objects (in HD or 3D!). Databases are easily bound to visual elements in your application without requiring special data-aware controls. Bind live data to standard UI controls or create new and interesting ways of connecting any type of data with HD and 3D graphics.

Put your data and logic in the cloud

FireMonkey's RAD Cloud DataSnap middleware technology allows you to run your business logic and data access as services in your own private cloud or Amazon EC2 and providing connectivity to a wide array of client environments, languages and platforms on PC, Mac, Web and Mobile devices.

Connect to FireMonkey from any development environment

FireMonkey RAD Cloud DataSnap connectors allow you to build clients in virtually any development platform, language or framework to use FireMonkey DataSnap services. Connectors include Windows, Mac, Web, .NET, JSON/RPC, PHP, iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone.

Vibrant and active community

Embarcadero's developer community and partners create specialized free and commercial components for specific industries, functions, tools and more. If you can think of it, there's probably a component that does it.
