Portability: Entropy is politically correct, supporting both Windows and many flavors of Unix. Entropy also utilizes a platform-independent database format, allowing you to share databases among different architectures.

Learning Curve: Entropy offers ease of use unparalleled by other products on the market. Design your database from our user-friendly GUI. Then, use our Entropy Markup Language (EML) tags to define queries and create web interfaces. EML is a simple tag-based syntax that integrates directly with your HTML.

Speed: Reduce database access time dramatically by eliminating many of the traditional steps to your data. Entropy eliminates the need for SQL or ODBC database servers. Entropy also uses FastCGI to avoid the overhead of the Common Gateway Interface (CGI).

Scalability: Each Entropy database can be up to 4GB in size*. Additionally, an unlimited number of Entropy databases can be linked together, thus creating an unlimited database size potential!

Cost: Entropy cuts costs by eliminating the need to purchase separate products for each step of the traditional method of integrating databases with web sites. Entropy solutions also save you money by greatly reducing the time spent building and maintaining your web sites. Plus, Entropy works on Virtually-hosted accounts as well!
