Why buy eXtremeDB? A business case.
A business case.
We appreciate substance, rather than slogans, so have provided a list of reasons why we think eXtremeDB will help you meet – or exceed – your data management goals, including links for your reference. If you have any questions about the information below please contact us at 425-888-8505 or at info@mcobject.com.
1. Multiple ways to save a project time and money
- Reduce development time with a wide range of developer tools
- Reduce production costs: small code size of approximately 200K and minimal overhead means less RAM is required. The IoT Edge Client uses 8 KB or less.
- Re-use your code. Edge to cloud/server, eXtremeDB deploys easily on new platforms, and even runs without an operating system in “bare bones boards” deployments.
2. Superior speed and performance
- Built and optimized from the ground up for maximum velocity.
- Proven by record-setting, independently audited public benchmarks.
- Outperformed a fully-cached traditional “on-disk” database in tests.
3. A true hard real-time option
- eXtremeDB/rt is the only commercial-off-the-shelf hard real-time deterministic DBMS, offering platform support for all major RTOS.
- Explicitly guarantees transaction deadlines for real-time systems.
- Award-winning software recognized at the Embedded World 2026 conference.
4. Highly flexible hybrid storage
- eXtremeDB makes it easy to combine all the strengths of the on-disk and all-in-memory approaches to data management in a single database system.
- Combines row-based (OLTP) and column-based (OLAP/time-series) data layouts together.
- Maximizes hardware cache speed while minimizing storage costs.
5. Multi-layered security and safety
- Built-in AES encryption utilizing user-provided ciphers.
- Supports full ACID transaction compliance to protect data.
- Eliminates inter-process communication overhead to reduce failure vectors.
6. Built-in pipelined analytics
- Features a library containing over 150 functions for time-series analytics.
- Pipelines vector-based analysis directly inside CPU cache memory.
- Eliminates database processing latency for streaming time-series data.
7. Platform independent interoperability
- Highly portable design.
- Interoperability can mean different things, all of which eXtremeDB can do.
- Cross-platform operation; use different languages, different APIs and different processor types in the same system.
8. Developer-friendly type-safe API
- Type-safe native C/C++ API catches errors at compile time.
- Broad language support including SQL, Python, Java, Rust, and C#.
- Simplifies configuration through an integrated schema compiler.
9. Highly scalable distribution options
- Built-in Active Replication Fabric handles intermittent edge connections.
- Delivers 99.999% uptime with robust High Availability (master/replica) features.
- Cluster for master/master database replication on the network.
10. Industry-proven reliability
- Trusted globally in over 70,000,000 deployments by industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin, Schneider Electric and GoPro.
- Built explicitly to prevent corruption from application software defects.
- Backed by specialized data management support teams since 2001.
Compared to self-developed (‘homegrown’) data management, eXtremeDB offers a proven solution that slashes months from development, QA and ongoing support. Why take on the complexity of developing a database management system from scratch, when an off-the-shelf solution meets your requirements?
