Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Fast and scalable multi-model DBMS, originally forked from OrientDB but most of the code has been rewritten

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

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.
