OLTP - DBMS for mainframes and Linux/Unix/Windows environments

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

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