Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on HBase with integrated rule engine and visualization

An embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

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.)

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)
