Name

Description

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Spatial extension of H2

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

Primary database model
