Typically,Often arrays are used to represent sensor, simulation, image, andor statistics data.
Such arrays tend to be [[Big_data|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.
