Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

Apache Ignite is a memory-centric distributed database, caching, and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads, delivering in-memory speeds at petabyte scale.

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications

A concept of libraries, allowing an application program to store and query key-value pairs in a file. Successor of Tokyo Cabinet and Kyoto Cabinet
