Arctic is a high performance datastore for numeric data. It supports Pandas, numpy arrays and pickled objects out-of-the-box, with pluggable support for other data types and optional versioning.

Arctic can query millions of rows per second per client, achieves ~10x compression on network bandwidth, ~10x compression on disk, and scales to hundreds of millions of rows per second per MongoDB instance.

Arctic has been under active development at Man AHL since 2012.
