Name

Description

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

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.

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

Based on PostgreSQL enhanced with MPP and write-scale-out cluster features
