Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

An embeddable, high performance key-value store optimized for write-intensive workloads, which can be used as a drop-in replacement for RocksDB

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key-value store
