Name

Description

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

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

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.
