Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionEnterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionA Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interfaceA multi-model DBMS and application serverEdge Time Series DBMS with Real-Time Stream ProcessingIndustry 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.
