DescriptionApplication development environment with integrated database management systemUltra-low latency distributed database with an intuitive REST API supporting NoSQL and SQL (including joins). Deployment of functions and databases simultaneously with a consolidated node-level architecture.Industry 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.Transactional SQL-on-Hadoop DBMSYTsaurus is an open source platform for distributed storage and processing.
