Description

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

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

Converged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graph

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Distributed Analytical Database to replace Hadoop+MPP hybrid architecture
