Name

Description

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

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

Widely used RDBMS

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

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Graph DBMS
Search engine

Spatial DBMS

Document store
Graph DBMS

with Oracle Spatial and Graph
RDF store
