DescriptionGeode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processesIndustry 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.MySQL wire-compliant distributed RDBMS that combines an in-memory row-oriented and a disc-based column-oriented storage with patented universal storage to handle transactional and analytical workloads in one single table typeIn-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applicationsA general purpose database with bitemporal SQL and Datalog and graph queries
