What is the MIM Server?
The MIM Server is a complete data warehouse solution for time series data.

Its retrieval speed is quantum leaps beyond all competitors', and no other database in the world can capture data as quickly. This is crucial where more and more financial institutions are collecting tick data for further research and analysis. 
 
The MIM Server can collect ticks at a rate of thousands of ticks per second. The MIM Server has enough throughput to globally serve up hundreds and even thousands of PCs or workstations simultaneously. The MIM Server has terabyte capacity, and is used by some of the largest banks and brokers in the world.
 
What is Historis?
The Historis database is your TOTAL solution for time-series data. Historis will help you to better schedule maintenance and catch problems before they result in costly downtime. Using advanced compression algorithms, Historis significantly reduces the required disk space to store your metrics. Data compression is orders of magnitude more efficient than any other commercially available relational database. 

Historis comes with an English-like query language which allows you to ask questions concerning the data without computer programming. When time-series data acquisition, compression, speed and analytics are involved, let LIM solve your dilemma.
