DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesAll data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented TransactionsDBMS for storing time series, events and metricsIn-memory key-value store, originally intended for caching
