# Getting Started with eXtremeDB for HPC

> As described in the Product Family description, McObject's eXtremeDB for HPC includes all of the eXtremeDB features including eXtremeDB High Availability, eXtremeSQL and a library of vector-based math functions that operate on database fields of type ``Sequence`` (vertical/columnar storage of time-series data). For developers new to eXtremeDB we recommend reviewing the Getting Started with eXtremeDB Embedded pages to become familiar with the basic eXtremeDB features and APIs.
