Name

Description

An in-memory DBMS combining transactional and analytical processing to handle the aggregation of ever-changing data.

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.

Primary database model
