Description

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

Widely used open source RDBMS

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

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
