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

Open-Source and Enterprise in-memory Key-Value Store

Designed to manage unstructured time-series data efficiently, providing unique features such as storing time-stamped blobs with labels, customizable data retention policies, and a straightforward FIFO quota system.

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.

Columnar RDBMS optimized for Big Data analytics

Primary database model
