Description

High performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMS

An open source BigTable implementation based on distributed file systems such as Hadoop

Apache Ignite is a memory-centric distributed database, caching, and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads, delivering in-memory speeds at petabyte scale.

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.

In-memory key-value store, originally intended for caching
