Name

Description

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

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

A distributed, linear scalable, high perfomant Graph DBMS

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

Cloud-native distributed Vector DBMS that supports storage, retrieval, and management of massive vector-based datasets
