Name

Description

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

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.

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

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
