Name

Description

Converged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graph

A Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters

It was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017

In-memory JavaScript DBMS

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.)

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra
