Name

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

In-memory caching system

High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented Transactions

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

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

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a hierachical model (tree) can be imposed

Key-value store

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Values are user defined objects

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models
