DescriptionEnterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionGeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.Open-source Time Series DBMS and monitoring systemIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
