What do you need most from a database management system?
eXtremeDB is an in-memory and persistent database management system designed to be uniquely efficient.
eXtremeDB was originally designed and optimized to be an in-memory database system (IMDS) and this distinction allows for improved performance. (Learn why here.) Databases can be all-in-memory, all-persistent, or easily have a mix of in-memory and persistent tables.
Flexible hybrid storage
All in-memory
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.

Speed
eXtremeDB was designed from the beginning to maximize database speed. We compiled this list of features you might want to search for if fast data management is a priority for your next project.
What sets us apart?
eXtremeDB was designed from the beginning to maximize database speed, and offers easy to use hybrid storage based on an in-memory database system. (Learn why this offers better performance.)
Extremely efficient design
eXtremeDB’s efficient architectural design means a smaller footprint which results in short code execution paths for all functions
Active Replication Fabric™
Developed as an IoT connectivity solution, Active Replication Fabric also offers data compression
Pipelining
Pipelining utilizes a built-in library of vector-based statistical functions, with the output of one function becoming input for the next to keep the interim results in CPU cache and reduce database latency.
What embedded developers like most
Data compression
Data can be stored compressed to minimize overhead and improve performance. Compression is also used between server and device in eXtremeDB’s Active Replication Fabric for IoT networks.
Better cache management
More efficient cache management in prioritization translates to improved overall performance and less redundancy.
Multiple database index types
eXtremeDB’s multiple database indexes enable the developer to significantly increase application speed and make important design trade-offs involving search performance, memory consumption, and update performance.
What HPC developers like most
eXtremeDB for HPC is built on an embedded database system that is optimized for performance. Please review the What embedded developers like section above.
Flexible data layout
eXtremeDB implements columnar data layout for fields of type ‘sequence’. Sequences can be combined to form a time series, ideal for working with tick streams, historical quotes and other sequential data. This technology supports database designs that combine row-based and column-based layouts, in order to best leverage the CPU cache speed. Learn more.
Pipelining
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 for market data, with the output of one function becoming input for the next.
Resource conflict resolution
Threads running in parallel often contend for system resources, actually reducing overall performance. Achieving multi-core’s promised linear performance gains hinges on resolving this issue. Learn how eXtremeDB does this.
