Name

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

Description

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

dBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.

Automatically scaling NoSQL Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the Google Cloud Platform

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

Cloud-based data warehousing service for structured and semi-structured data

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store
