Name

Description

Fast, reliable graph database built for the cloud

RDBMS for high security requirements

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.)

Widely used RDBMS

A complete, distributed, parallel graph computing platform supporting web-scale data analytics in real-time
