Description

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

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.

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service

Columnar RDBMS optimized for Big Data analytics

Primary database model

column-oriented

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS
