Name

Description

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

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

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.

Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform and graph DBMS with high availability, high performance reasoning, and virtualization

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)
