    27 This is the website of the rasdaman ("__ras__ter __da__ta __man__ager") open-source project. Rasdaman is a domain-neutral '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_DBMS Array Database System]''': it extends standard relational database systems with the ability to store and retrieve multi-dimensional raster data (''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array arrays]'') of unlimited size through an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sql SQL]-style query language. In fact, rasdaman has pioneered Array Databases being the first fully implemented, operationally used system with an array query language and optimized processing engine.

    29 On such '''sensor, image, simulation, and statistics data''' appearing, e.g., in '''earth, space, and life science''' [wiki:ApplicationDomains applications] rasdaman allows to quickly set up array-intensive [wiki:Features services] which are [wiki:WhyRasdaman distinguished] by their flexibility, speed, and scalability. Rasdaman embeds itself smoothly into [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL].

     31The rasdaman ("__ras__ter __da__ta __man__ager") is the leading array analytics engine [wiki:WhyRasdaman ] by its flexibility, performance, and scalability. Rasdaman embeds itself smoothly into [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], but can also run standalone on file systems. In fact, rasdaman has pioneered Array Databases being the first fully implemented, operationally used system with an array query language and optimized processing engine.
