Name

Description

Scalable in-memory time series database optimized for IoT and Big Data

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

A DBMS designed for efficient storage of vector data and vector similarity searches

Data warehouse and analytics appliance part of IBM PureSystems

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
