Virtual/Vertical Database (VDB) is a highly compressed column-oriented

of the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). It is unique in that it builds
databases from smaller parts that can function independently as
_documents_, supports effective and efficient compression, supports
encryption while remaining encrypted on disk, transparent distribution
and remote access.
