DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesEnterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionFully vectorized database across both GPUs and CPUsSpatial extension of PostgreSQLIndustry 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.
