Apache IoTDB
Apache IoTDB is an industrial IoT time-series database management system that adopts a lightweight architecture with edge-cloud collaboration, supporting integrated collection, storage, management, and analysis of IoT time-series data. It features multi-protocol compatibility, ultra-high compression ratio, high-throughput read/write capabilities, industrial-grade stability, and minimal maintenance requirements‌.
Main Features
High-throughput read and write
Apache IoTDB can support high-speed write access for millions of low-power and intelligently networked devices. It also provides lightning read access for retrieving data.
Efficient directory structure
Apache IoTDB can efficiently organize complex data structure from IoT devices and large size of timeseries data with fuzzy searching strategy for complex directory of timeseries data.
Rich query semantics
Apache IoTDB can support time alignment for timeseries data across devices and sensors, computation in timeseries field and abundant aggregation functions in time dimension.
Low cost on hardware
Apache IoTDB can reach a high compression ratio of disk storage (it costs less than $0.23 to store 1GB of data on hard disk).
Flexible deployment
Apache IoTDB can provide users one-click installation on the cloud, terminal tool on desktop and the bridge tool between cloud platform and on premise machine (Data Synchronization Tool).
Intense integration with Open Source Ecosystem
Apache IoTDB can support analysis ecosystems, for example, Hadoop, Spark, Flink and Grafana (visualization tool).
