CrateDB SQL Database Puts IoT and Machine Data to WorkCrate.io today announced general availability of CrateDB 1.0, an open source SQL database that enables real-time analytics for machine data applications.

The company also announced today that it has opened a new world headquarters in San Francisco, adding to its existing presence in Berlin, Germany and Dornbirn, Austria. "The growth of machine data and the opportunities that businesses have to capitalize on it are outstripping the ability of their data management infrastructure to act on it," said Jason Stamper, Analyst, Data Platforms and Analytics at 451 Research (News - Alert). "CrateDB's power lies in its ability to enable users to collect and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, using SQL commands they already know." Downloaded more than one million times since its introduction in 2014, CrateDB combines the familiarity of SQL with the versatility of search and the ease of scalability of containers.
