Name

Description

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

An ultra-fast, open source Key-value store fully compatible with Redis API, modules, and protocols

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.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model
