Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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

Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.

Description

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

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS

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.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store

Secondary database models
