Raima
Raima Corporation was established in Renton, Washington, in 1982 by two former Boeing Computer Services employees, Randy Merilatt and Wayne Warren. Raima Corporation saw a need for a high performance, zero administration embedded database and started working on the db_Vista product. db_Vista was first released in 1984, and As of 1988 db_Vista had made it’s third major release. db_Vista was later renamed to Raima Database Manager™ or RDM® for short. As the product grew in popularity so did the client server architecture which Raima answered with the release of Velocis, a Client/Server version of RDM®, in 1993. Velocis was later renamed RDM® Server. As Raima grew in popularity they saw themselves acquired by Centura Software Corporation in 1999. Centura software drove the decision of launching a open source version of RDM®, now named RDM® Embedded, called db.*, in 2000. Under Linux the db.* product got named db.linux. In 2001 Birdstep Technology ASA, a Norwegian based company, acquired the Raima assets and has since made 4 major releases of RDM® Embedded, 3 major releases of the RDM® Server product, and agumneting the two with their own light weight embedded database called RDM® Mobile.
