Name

Description

Native multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.

Widely used RDBMS

A high-performance vector database with neural network or semantic-based matching

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.
