DescriptionScalable TimeSeries DBMS based on HBase with integrated rule engine and visualizationA distributed reliable key-value storeDBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.Distributed, fault tolerant key-value storeIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
