Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

Scalable GPU-accelerated RDBMS for very fast analytic and streaming workloads, leveraging PostgreSQL

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

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.

A resource-optimized, high-performance, universally applicable RDBMS
