DescriptionHigh performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMSAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesDBMS for storing time series, events and metricsDistributed, fault tolerant key-value storeIndustry 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.
