Name

Description

A widely adopted Java cache with tiered storage options

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

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.)
