Description

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

Apache Ignite is a memory-centric distributed database, caching, and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads, delivering in-memory speeds at petabyte scale.

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
