Name

Description

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

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.

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

Cloud-based data warehousing service for structured and semi-structured data

A typo-tolerant, in-memory search engine optimized for instant search-as-you-type experiences and developer productivity
