Description

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

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

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

A scalable, reliable search and analytics service in the cloud, built on RocksDB

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.
