Name

Description

A scale-out RDBMS with evolutionary schema built on Apache HBase

Scalable in-memory time series database optimized for IoT and Big Data

Widely used open source RDBMS

A drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features.

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.
