System Properties Comparison Atos Standard Common Repository vs. HBase vs. KairosDB vs. MySQL vs. RRDtool

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

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

Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTable

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

Widely used open source RDBMS

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.

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store

Wide column store

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
