Description

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

A native JSON - document store inspired by Lotus Notes, scalable from globally distributed server-clusters down to mobile phones.

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.)

DBMS for structured and unstructured content wrapped with an application server

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS
