 NFSdb
 ======
 
-Monster performance. Brutal simplicity. Sub-microsecond latency with no GC overhead. Unlimited capacity. Open Source. Tiny total cost of ownership.
+NFSdb is a low latency, high throughput time-series database written entirely in Java. The goal of the project is a study of what's possible in java with large datasets and to share benefits of this study with everybody.
 
-Yes, it is another database and no, it is not like any other. Too good to be true? Download now and try for yourself.
+NFSdb requires minimum of Java 7.
 
-NFSdb opens new horizons for software development: you no longer have to worry about how to store your data, you can focus on thinking what you can do with it.
+It is available on maven Central
