Description

DataStax Enterprise (DSE) is the always-on, scalable data platform built on Apache Cassandra and designed for hybrid Cloud. DSE integrates graph, search, analytics, administration, developer tooling, and monitoring into a unified platform.

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

Application development environment with integrated database management system

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

A secure RDBMS, designed for easy portability from Oracle
