Name

Description

An MPP-based analytics DBMS embracing the MySQL protocol

Analytic DBMS for Hadoop

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on HBase with integrated rule engine and visualization

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS
