columnar analytics for MariaDB, so aggregate queries over large tables read only the columns they need
MariaDB ColumnStore is a columnar storage engine for MariaDB that stores each column separately and scans them in parallel, turning aggregates over large fact tables into a fraction of the work a row store would do. It is chosen for analytical and reporting workloads that need column oriented performance without leaving standard SQL, and columnar tables sit alongside ordinary row based tables in the same database.
cloudimg pairs the ColumnStore engine with a matching MariaDB Server release from the vendor's own repository, so the engine and server can never drift apart, and applies the OS security baseline before publication. Database credentials are generated uniquely on first boot with no default login, the database listens on loopback with the engine's internal services closed to the network, and the image ships with an empty database ready for your schema. 24/7 support is included.
