Name

Description

A widely adopted Java cache with tiered storage options

FileMaker is a cross-platform RDBMS that includes a GUI frontend.

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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.
