Name

Description

A fully managed Wide Column Store for large quantities of semi-structured data with real-time access

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.

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS

Enhanced drop-in replacement for MySQL based on XtraDB or TokuDB storage engines with improved performance and additional diagnostic and management features.

SpaceTime is a spatio-temporal DBMS with a focus on performance.
