Description

An enterprise grade, high-performance RDBMS

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

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.

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

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