Description

Multi-model database supporting relational and graph data models and built upon PostgreSQL

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.

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)

Scalable Graph Database platform making enterprise data available by exploiting inferred entities and relationships
