Data Management for Big Data and Analytics
eXtremeDB delivers accelerated storage to HPC infrastructure workloads.
eXtremeDB for High Performance Computing and Big Data is based on a blazingly fast storage engine delivering scalability, low latency and advanced analytical capabilities for HPC workloads.
Statistical Analysis
Exploring large amounts of data to discover underlying patterns is a cornerstone of modern business practices. Statistics are applied everywhere from machine learning to finance to digital marketing to healthcare and communications. eXtremeDB HPC comes with a library of more than 100 functions for performing statistical analysis on time series data, such as grand, group, grid and window averages to name a few.

Pipelining
Pipelining refers to a series of data processing steps where the output of one step is the input to the next step. The pipelining of vector‐based statistical functions is key to eXtremeDB’s ability to accelerate performance when working with IoT and capital markets’ time series data. eXtremeDB’s extensive library of math functions are the building blocks that are assembled into pipelines to minimize data transfers and maximally exploit the CPU’s L1/L2/L3 cache. Don’t see the function your analytics require? No problem, write it yourself and use it alongside the built-in functions seamlessly.
A database for Big Data and analytics should be the fastest available. Since 2014, eXtremeDB for HPC has set records, then broken our own records. See the stats.

Columnar and Row-oriented Storage
Combining analytics and online transaction processing (OLTP) queries is a common requirement for today’s high-performance database systems. eXtremeDB supports two storage formats: Vertical (columnar) storage for time-series data, which is ideal for working with tick streams and machine-generated IoT data, while traditional row-oriented storage is de rigueur for OLTP workloads.
eXtremeDB stores time series data with a columnar layout, and “normal” data with a conventional row-based layout. The result is higher performance for time series analytics.

Horizontal Partitioning: Sharding for Elastic Scalability
Efficient Big Data processing frequently requires data partitioning. eXtremeDB offers ultra-fast, elastically scalable data management through sharding — the horizontal partitioning of data. Sharding allows distribution of data over multiple physical nodes, or partitions on the same node, maximizing CPU load and exploiting storage media I/O concurrency.
The developer can specify the storage (in-memory or persistent) for each table, which is ideal for handling streaming and historical data within a single database architecture.
