DescriptionGeode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processesScalable in-memory time series database optimized for IoT and Big DataA high performance, column-oriented RDBMS, specifically developed to harness the massive parallelism of modern CPU and GPU hardwareIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
