DescriptionA stable, reliable, and cost-effective online high-performance time series database serviceFirebird is an open source RDBMS forked from Borland's InterBaseAn open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries. infoThe Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
