Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

An open-source, elastic, and workload-aware cloud data warehouse designed to meet businesses' massive-scale analytics needs at low cost and with low complexity

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Common in IBM host environments, 2 different versions for host and Windows/Linux

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

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.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Since Version 10.5 support for JSON/BSON documents compatible with MongoDB

Key-value store

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store
RDF store

in Db2 LUW (Linux, Unix, Windows)
Spatial DBMS

with Db2 Spatial Extender
