    • Array database management systems (DBMSs) provide database services specifically for arrays (also called raster data), that is: homogeneous collections of data items (often called pixels, voxels, etc.), sitting on a regular grid of one, two, or more dimensions.

      Often arrays are used to represent sensor, simulation, image, or statistics data.

      Such arrays tend to be Big Data, with single objects frequently ranging into Terabyte and soon Petabyte sizes; for example, today’s earth and space observation archives typically grow by Terabytes a day.

      Array databases aim at offering flexible, scalable storage and retrieval on this information category.
