Tamino XML Server is a high performance data management platform based on XML standards. Tamino:

• stores XML documents natively, that is in their original format;

• stores non-XML documents such as Microsoft Office documents or PDF files;

• exposes information residing in various external XML or non-XML sources (legacy data) or applications to the outside world in XML format; and

• enables you to search effectively on the information to which it has access.
