Name

Description

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

dBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

Apache Ignite is a memory-centric distributed database, caching, and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads, delivering in-memory speeds at petabyte scale.
