Arc is an analytical database that ingests telemetry data via InfluxDB Line Protocol, stores it in open Parquet format on user-owned storage, and enables SQL queries across recent and historical data. It solves the problem of data retention and querying by eliminating retention cliffs and proprietary formats. It targets developers, data teams, and operations teams in industries like manufacturing, finance, and energy, suitable for small teams to enterprises. It is positioned as an open-source, self-hosted alternative to proprietary time-series databases, with a managed enterprise option.
