DataBlitz is a general purpose main memory database management system, developed by Lucent Bell Labs Research from 1993 to 1995. It replaced various home-grown database products used throughout Lucent beginning in 1997.

It was originally named "Dali", and provided recovery and concurrency control features. Later, Dali was renamed as "DataBlitz".

DataBlitz provides a platform for building high-performance shared memory applications that can survive failures or organize large amounts of data with features suited to many applications.

Applications for DataBlitz include:

  • Switching and call routing in telecommunications
  • Real-time billing
  • High-performance Web servers
  • Financial trading applications
  • Data caching
