TempoIQ seems to be decommissioned. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Schema-free SQL Query Engine for Hadoop, NoSQL and Cloud Storage

A scale-out RDBMS with evolutionary schema built on Apache HBase

Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTable

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.

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)

Primary database model
