-rasdaman ("__ras__ter __da__ta __man__ager")  allows storing and querying massive multi-dimensional [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array arrays], such as '''sensor, image, simulation, and statistics data''' appearing in [wiki:ApplicationDomains domains] like '''earth, space, and life science'''.  This worldwide leading array analytics engine [wiki:WhyRasdaman distinguished] by its flexibility, performance, and scalability. Rasdaman can process arrays residing in file system directories as well as in databases. In fact, rasdaman has pioneered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_DBMS Array Databases] being the first fully implemented, operationally used system with an array query language and optimized processing engine with unprecedented scalability. Known rasdaman databases exceed 150 TB; with [http://www.earthserver.eu EarthServer], intercontinental fusion of Petabyte datacubes is being established. The forthcoming ISO SQL/MDA (Multi-Dimensional Arrays) standard has been crafted by the rasdaman team.

-'''Next-Generation Geo Raster Server'''. 
-From simple geo imagery services up to complex analytics, rasdaman provides the whole spectrum of functionality on spatio-temporal raster data - both regular and irregular grids.
-And it does so with an unprecedented performance and scalability, as recent scientific benchmarks show.
-To leverage this enabling technology, users do not necessarily have to learn new interfaces: rasdaman [wiki:Clients integrates] smoothly with R, !OpenLayers, Leaflet, NASA !WorldWind, GDAL, MapServer, ESRI ArcGIS, and many more.

 '''Makers of Big Data Standards'''.
+The forthcoming ISO SQL/MDA (Multi-Dimensional Arrays) standard, integrating n-D arrays seamlessly into table world, has been crafted by the rasdaman team. This standard will be domain-independent and can serve all of Earth, Space, Life sciences, and beyond.

 Rasdaman is brought to you by the guys writing the Big Earth Data standards, including [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs OGC WCS] and [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcps WCPS], the OGC raster query language. 
 No surprise, rasdaman supports [http://www.opengeospatial.org OGC] [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms WMS], [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs WCS] core and all extensions including [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcps WCS-T], [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcps WCPS], and [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wps/ WPS].
