Name

Description

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

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.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS
