Name

Description

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

A fast-speed and highly-scalable Graph DBMS

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS

Open-source Time Series DBMS and monitoring 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.
