TileDB is also optimized for a variety of storage backends. It works on any POSIX filesystem (e.g., Lustre) and HDFS, but extra care has been taken in both the data format and engine to make it ideal for object stores, such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage and Minio. Finally, TileDB supports a special RAM backend to store and access arrays exclusively in memory for latency demanding applications.
