Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

A multi-model DBMS and application server

Application development environment with integrated database management system

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.
