DescriptionScalable TimeSeries DBMS based on CassandraDBMS for storing time series, events and metricsGlobally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database serviceHigh performance knowledge graph and semantic reasoning engineIndustry 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.
