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

High-performance distributed SQL database for global, internet-scale applications. Wire and feature compatible with PostgreSQL.
