Name

Description

High-performance, in-memory, MPP database specifically designed for in-memory analytics.

data warehouse software for querying and managing large distributed datasets, built on Hadoop

Widely used RDBMS

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.
