Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

FatDB/FatCloud has ceased operations as a company with February 2014. FatDB is discontinued and excluded from the ranking.

Description

An MPP-based analytics DBMS embracing the MySQL protocol

A .NET NoSQL DBMS that can integrate with and extend SQL Server.

Data warehouse and analytics appliance part of IBM PureSystems

Open-source Time Series DBMS and monitoring system

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.
