Description

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

Automatically scaling NoSQL Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the Google Cloud Platform

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Document store

Sharding

by using Cassandra

Sharding

based on HBase

yes, but depending on the SQL-Server Edition

Multi-source replication

by using Cassandra

selectable replication factor

based on HBase
