DescriptionApplication development environment with integrated database management systemIn-memory caching systemA native JSON - document store inspired by Lotus Notes, scalable from globally distributed server-clusters down to mobile phones.Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KVIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
