DescriptionNative multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented TransactionsmSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMSIndustry 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.
