Name

Description

High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented Transactions

Extremely fast embedded database for small devices, IoT and Mobile

An enterprise-class RDBMS compatible with high-performance, high-availability and high-performance originally developed by Huawei

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.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Values are user defined objects

Secondary database models

Graph DBMS
Search engine

Time Series DBMS

Document store
Spatial DBMS
