Overview

Today, organizations are challenged with managing more data than ever before driven by increasing business demands to access new and richer data sources for better insights. At the same time organizations are hampered by limited or reduced IT budgets and the over-riding pressure to derive greater value from existing investments.

The RainStor Database is designed from the ground up to manage Big Data for large enterprises at the lowest total cost. It is proven to be the most efficient database for compressing, storing and managing volumes of enterprise data, enabling fast query and analytics access for better intelligence. RainStor provides enterprise-grade security giving you the reliability you have come to expect from standard enterprise databases. Designed to easily scale as growth rates escalate, you get up and running quickly with very low admin. RainStor manages different workloads and is continuously available for query even during high-speed data load.

RainStor efficiently manages diverse data types giving you the highest performance and efficiency for structured and semi-structured data sets including machine generated data such as web clickstream, sensor log files, network security data, and financial trade and tick data. Fully accessible for all types of query and analysis, you not only meet business user requirements but also help to meet regulatory compliance, which is now very data-specific and stringent.
