On September 22, 2011, Ingres Corporation became Actian Corporation, focusing on data management and integration technologies, including [[Vectorwise]]/Vector, [[Btrieve]]/[[Pervasive PSQL]]/Zen, [[OpenROAD]] and the Ingres database.

Actian was acquired by [[HCL Technologies]] and Sumeru Equity Partners for $330 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bseindia.com/corporates/anndet_new.aspx?newsid=ff975b0d-3674-4831-8e35-4dab2c936f60|title=Announcement under Regulation 30 (LODR)-Updates on Acquisition|date=July 18, 2018|website=bseindia.com}}</ref> In 2021, HCL Technologies became the sole owner of Actian, which became the Data and Analytics division of HCLSoftware.

On 18 April 2017, Actian X was announced as the first natively integrated hybrid database, designed to manage transactional, analytic and hybrid data workloads from a single database.<ref>{{cite web|title=Actian Hybrid Data Solutions Power the Digital Enterprise|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170418005463/en/Actian-Hybrid-Data-Solutions-Power-Digital-Enterprise|website=www.businesswire.com|language=en|date=2017-04-18}}</ref>

Actian X combines the features and capabilities of Ingres and Vector, including column-based storage, vector processing, multi-core parallelism (and more):<ref>{{Cite news |title= Introducing Actian X – the new Ingres

* DataConnect 11 for Actian X: DataConnect is an end-to-end application integration solution for designing and deploying data integration with Ingres applications. The bundle included a GUI and development engine, for designing and testing integrations, and a production engine for deployment.
* Enterprise Monitoring Appliance (EMA): helps maintain the health of databases and host systems by monitoring and setting alerts for key system functions like disk usage, I/O performance, transaction log files and network latency. EMA provides early warnings and alerts so problems and potential problems can be quickly resolved.
* Cloud Backup Service: a scalable, secure managed service for storing and managing Ingres backups. More than file or system backup, the service is designed with tight Ingres integration. Backup agents monitor Ingres for checkpoints and journals, and transfer them to cloud storage automatically ensuring consistent backups and successful restores.
* Geospatial: Several geospatial enhancements, highlighted by the [[ArcGIS]] plug-in for ESRI, which enables ArcGIS desktop tools to visualize and manipulate Ingres geospatial data. Added 3D support for R-Tree indexes and in-line geospatial functions improves query performance and greatly simplifies coding for geospatial features.
* New features and enhancements: MERGE support, a reuse heuristic for query optimization, compression of network communications, automatic log file rotation, [[Binary large object|blob]] encryption, etc.

In 2024, Actian decided to withdraw the Actian X brand, making all its features and capabilities available to Ingres 12.0.
