TileDB

TileDB is a true multimodal database platform designed for discovery in life sciences and beyond. Built on pioneering array technology, it enables teams to efficiently manage and analyze all their data — from frontier multiomics and single-cell datasets to biomedical imaging and everyday structured data — in one unified place, at scale.

TileDB is purpose-built for organizations that need to consolidate diverse, complex, and large-scale data types without sacrificing performance or driving up operational costs. It is particularly well-suited for genomics, single-cell biology, biomedical imaging, and teams operating within trusted research environments or pursuing FAIR data compliance.

Unified Data Platform Capabilities

• Organize: Account for all data, no matter how big, diverse, or complex. Create folder hierarchies, attach meaningful descriptions and metadata, and search holistically across datasets.
• Structure: Consolidate diverse data formats into a coherent, array-based storage model optimized for both storage efficiency and computational performance.
• Collaborate: Enable shared remote access to massive datasets without physically moving data, increasing productivity across teams and organizations.
• Analyze: Run complex queries and analyses at scale using an array-powered serverless engine designed for the most demanding use cases.

Tailored Use Cases

• Genomics: Power variant analysis at biobank scale by combining an efficient storage format with the distributed power of the cloud. Run complex variant queries in hours that once took days.
• Single-cell: Manage and analyze single-cell data at scale, reducing the data engineering burden so computational scientists can focus on the science.
• Biomedical imaging: Store and query petabyte-scale imaging data cost-effectively using TileDB's array-optimized format.
• FAIR compliance: Support findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable data practices across teams and organizations.
• Trusted Research Environment: Support federated queries between namespaces and organizations within TileDB's secure trusted research environment.

Core Value Propositions

• Data infrastructure: An elegant platform that easily consolidates diverse formats to drive discovery across the organization.
• Performance: An array-powered serverless engine that scales to the most complex and data-intensive use cases.
• Operational cost reduction: Reduced total cost of operations with an array format optimized for both storage and computing — with storage costs reduced by up to 97% compared to file-based approaches.
• Collaboration: Increased productivity through shared remote access on massive datasets without the need to move physical data.
• Discovery: Simplified, comprehensive search capabilities across teams and organizations to accelerate insight generation.

TileDB has partnered with Databricks to power multimodal data for agentic AI in healthcare and life sciences, reflecting its commitment to integrating with leading data and AI platforms. The platform is designed to serve organizations operating at biobank scale and supports deployment models that accommodate federated, cross-organizational research workflows.
