Multi-Dimensional
Datacube Management and Analytics
- easy, flexible, scalable, standards-based -


About

rasdaman ("raster data manager") allows management and analytics of massive multidimensional arrays ("data­cubes") such as sensor, image, simulation, and statistics data appearing in domains like Earth, Space, and Life sciences. In particular its flexibility, performance, scal­ability, and support for open standards make rasdaman stand out.

From simple map services up to complex analytics, ras­da­man provides the whole spectrum of functionality on spatio-temporal raster data - on regular and irregular grids, accessible through your well-known clients, from Leaflet over NASA WorldWind and QGIS to R and Python.

Actionable datacubes, provided by the inventors who pioneered Array Databases and datacubes. Much has happened since then - see the latest news for what is going on lately in the rasdaman and standardization universe!

Features

  • Domain-independent Array DBMS for flexible raster data management and analytics
  • Datacube queries through domain-neutral ISO SQL/MDA and geo-specific WCPS
  • Geospatial standards support out of the box with the latest OGC / ISO / INSPIRE standards, including WCS, WCPS, WMS, WMTS
  • Automated data importthrough a powerful, flexible ETL suite
  • 100+ data formats for import and export, from JSON and XML over GeoTIFF to NetCDF.
  • Tunable tiling schemes for squeezing maximum performance on a variety of data access patterns
  • Easy deployment with Debian packages through stable, testing, and nightly repositories
  • Comprehensive documentation

Next Level:
