DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesDistributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2Fully vectorized database across both GPUs and CPUsWidely used in-process key-value storeIndustry 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.
