Description

An online MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) data warehousing service based on Greenplum

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.

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

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

A resource-optimized, high-performance, universally applicable RDBMS
