System Properties Comparison Atos Standard Common Repository vs. IRONdb vs. Microsoft Access vs. MySQL vs. Tarantool

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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

IRONdb seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

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.)

Widely used open source RDBMS

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

Sharding

cell division

Automatic, metric affinity per node
