Name

Description

Scalable graph database built for online analytics and data harmonization with MPP scaling, high-performance analytical algorithms and reasoning, and virtualization

A native JSON - document store inspired by Lotus Notes, scalable from globally distributed server-clusters down to mobile phones.

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.

A Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interface
