Name

Description

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

MySQL wire-compliant distributed RDBMS that combines an in-memory row-oriented and a disc-based column-oriented storage with patented universal storage to handle transactional and analytical workloads in one single table type

A general purpose database with bitemporal SQL and Datalog and graph queries
