{{short description|System that provides database services specifically for arrays}}
'''Array database management systems''' ('''array DBMSs''') provide [[Database management system|database]] services specifically for [[array data structure|array]]s (also called [[Raster graphics|raster data]]), that is: homogeneous collections of data items (often called [[pixel]]s, [[voxel]]s, 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|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.
