Description

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

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS
