Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

In-memory JavaScript DBMS

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.

SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments
