Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

An IoT native database with high performance for data management and analysis, deployable on the edge and the cloud and integrated with Hadoop, Spark and Flink

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
