Name

Description

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

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

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.

NewSQL database with distributed OLTP and SQL
