Welcome to rasdaman!

This is the website of the rasdaman project. Rasdaman ("raster data manager") is an array database system (also called "raster database system"). It allows to retrieve and maintain multi-dimensional ​arrays of unlimited size stored in standard relational databases through an ​SQL-style query language.

The information category "array" appears - as sensor, image, or statistics data - in manifold applications, such as earth sciences, space sciences, life sciences, engineering, and multimedia.

Rasdaman allows to quickly set up array-intensive services which are distinguished by their speed, flexibility, and scalability. In conjunction with the free ​PetaScope package, rasdaman represents the most powerful, flexible, and scalable geo raster server available.

Commercial Support

A dedicated research spin-off company, ​rasdaman GmbH, provides software enhancements, expert consultancy, participation in projects, and joint ventures on a commercial basis to foster widespread use of rasdaman.
