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 its 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.
