Linux Database Management System
Proven the fastest hybrid persistent and in-memory Linux database management system for edge and cloud.
What makes eXtremeDB different?
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’ll find in other database management systems, and some that you won’t, (like those below), to give your next project a competitive edge.

An In-Memory and 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.

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

Row & Columnar Flexibility for Time Series Data
Time series data management systems frequently require large volumes of information to be available continuously. eXtremeDB excels in this capability.

Embedded and 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.

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.

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.
Network & Telecom
Network gear developers build on proven eXtremeDB speed and reliability, combined in-memory and persistent data layouts, optimized access methods and unmatched flexibility.
Consumer Electronics
JVC, DirecTV, GoPro and others all discovered that eXtremeDB’s small code size, portable data format and efficient use of compute & storage can reduce component cost while also supporting data-hungry new features.
Industrial Systems
eXtremeDB’s sophisticated event notification systems, time series data processing and high availability have powered its wide-spread adoption in SCADA, fleet management, smart building automation and other verticals.
Aerospace & Defense
Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, British Aerospace, EADS and others depend on eXtremeDB’s reliability, unmatched performance and broad platform support.
Energy
eXtremeDB optimization technology can dramatically boost utilities’ power generation yields. Distribution networks can become self-healing and bi-directional, enabling end-users to contribute power back to the grid.
Finance
eXtremeDB’s unique hybrid row- and columnar-layout (OLTP and time series) couples with pipelined functions for statistical analysis and scalable distributed database architecture power record-setting STAC-M3 benchmark results.
Hard Real-time Systems
eXtremeDB/rt is the first and only deterministic embedded DBMS for mission- and safety-critical hard real-time applications. It is built to satisfy strict requirements for timely execution of avionics and aircraft navigation systems, driver assistance systems, critical medical equipment and similar systems’ data management.
Big Data & Analytics
Columnar and row-oriented storage, a SQL engine infused with advanced analytics, and a scalable distributed architecture deliver speed and reliability to complex data-driven applications.
Finance
Embedded Systems
From inception, eXtremeDB’s resilient and optimized storage capabilities uniquely qualified it to fuel database management for safety-critical and resource-constrained embedded applications.
Internet of Things
eXtremeDB’s Active Replication Fabric™ creates a data management foundation for the IoT ecosystem that seamlessly integrates edge and cloud applications’ storage and ensuring data safety all around.
