DescriptionScalable TimeSeries DBMS based on CassandraWidely used RDBMS in China, including analytical, transactional, distributed transactional, and cloud-native data warehousing.An open source Time Series DBMS built for increased scalability, high performance and efficiencyMicrosoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries. infoThe Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)Industry 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.
