DescriptionOpen-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality dataIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.Open-Source SQL RDBMS for Operational and Analytical use cases with native Machine Learning, powered by Hadoop and Sparka GPU-based, columnar RDBMS for big data analytics workloadsAn embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage
