DescriptionGeode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processesHigh performance Time Series DBMSDistributed, fault tolerant key-value storeIndustry 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.SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments
