Description

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

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.

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.)

A widely used distributed, scalable search engine based on Apache Lucene

Scalable Graph Database platform making enterprise data available by exploiting inferred entities and relationships
