Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

Wide-column store based on ideas of BigTable and DynamoDB

Optimized for write access

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

Common in IBM host environments, 2 different versions for host and Windows/Linux

Primary database model

Document store
