Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

DataStax Enterprise (DSE) is the always-on, scalable data platform built on Apache Cassandra and designed for hybrid Cloud. DSE integrates graph, search, analytics, administration, developer tooling, and monitoring into a unified platform.

Cloud-based data warehousing service

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