Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Hawkular metrics is the metric storage of the Red Hat sponsored Hawkular monitoring system. It is based on Cassandra.

Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTable

Operational and transactional Enterprise NoSQL database

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.

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Wide column store

Document store
Native XML DBMS
RDF store

as of version 7
Search engine

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence
