System Properties Comparison HEAVY.AI vs. KairosDB vs. Redis vs. Teradata Aster vs. Warp 10

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Teradata Aster has been integrated into other Teradata systems and therefore will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

A high performance, column-oriented RDBMS, specifically developed to harness the massive parallelism of modern CPU and GPU hardware

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

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.

Platform for big data analytics on multistructured data sources and types

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

Primary database model
