Name

Description

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

Scalable Time Series DBMS based on HBase

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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
