Name

Description

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

A Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters

It was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017

Widely used RDBMS

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Values are user defined objects

Graph DBMS

Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models
