Name

Description

An in-memory DBMS combining transactional and analytical processing to handle the aggregation of ever-changing data.

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

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

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.

Cloud-based data warehousing service for structured and semi-structured data

Primary database model
