RAD Server (EMS)

Go Up to Developing RAD Server, Cloud, and REST Applications

RAD Server Overview

RAD Server, previously known as EMS (Enterprise Mobility Services), offers a Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP) that you can host in the Cloud or on the premises, to expose custom REST APIs and enterprise database data. The enterprise data access is provided by the FireDAC data access library.

RAD Server offers a comprehensive solution including REST API, remote database access, users tracking, and analytics. Compared to a do-it-yourself model, in RAD Server you have a pre-built server with core capabilities in which you can plug custom packages.

You can create custom packages to expose datasets and plain REST resources, and easily embed the client code to access those resources in mobile and desktop applications.
