Name

Description

A hosted search engine service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

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.

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)

Primary database model
