Description

Hosted, scalable database service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

A Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters

It was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)
