Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

Widely used open source RDBMS

Open Source Operational and Transactional Enterprise NoSQL Document Database

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.

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
RDF store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Document store

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models
