System Properties Comparison Apache Kylin vs. Ehcache vs. Faircom DB vs. FoundationDB vs. SAP Adaptive Server

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.

Description

A distributed analytics engine for big data, providing a SQL interface and multi-dimensional analysis (OLAP) and leveraging the Hadoop stack

A widely adopted Java cache with tiered storage options

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS
