Linux Database Management System
Proven the fastest hybrid persistent and in-memory Linux database management system for edge and cloud.
Linux from the beginning
Platform independent eXtremeDB has been a Linux database management system from the beginning. Created to be a powerful tool for the professional developer, eXtremeDB offers the features you won’t find in other database management systems, for a smaller, faster, more flexible database.
Unique eXtremeDB features
Pipelined vector-based analytics for time series data
Pipelining is the programming technique in eXtremeDB that accelerates processing by combining the database system’s vector-based statistical functions into assembly lines of processing, with the output of one function becoming input for the next. Watch a quick video about pipelining.
Active Replication Fabric
eXtremeDB Active Replication Fabric™ stages data during network malfunctions or outages, then sends the relevant historical data to the network as soon as the connection is reestablished.
Ideal for:
-
- mobile IoT systems that move in/out of coverage
- battery operated field devices’ need to conserve power
A hard real-time option
eXtremeDB/rt is the first and only deterministic embedded database management system for mission- and safety-critical hard real-time applications.
Flash memory support
eXtremeDB/rt supports both unmanaged raw flash and managed flash devices—giving developers the freedom to balance transaction latencies with design complexity.
Features for a smaller, faster, more flexible database
An in-memory and/or persistent DBMS
eXtremeDB was originally designed and optimized to be an in-memory database system (IMDS) and this distinction allows for improved performance. Learn why here.
The eXtremeDB hybrid database system offers the strengths of the on-disk and all-in-memory approaches to data management in a single database system.
Embedded and/or Client Server
Fast, flexible eXtremeDB is Linux database management wherever you need it. eXtremeDB runs on device, gateway and server, eliminating the need to learn different DBMS and leverages staff skills. Devices and servers communicate flawlessly. Learn more.
Row & columnar flexibility for time series data
Time series data management systems frequently require large volumes of information to be available continuously. Independent benchmark tests show how ultra low-latency eXtremeDB excels at processing time series data.
