Description

BigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assets

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

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.
