DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for HadoopEnterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionNatively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clusteringGeode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processesIndustry 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.
