Name

Description

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

Widely used open source RDBMS

NuoDB is a webscale distributed database that supports SQL and ACID transactions

A distributed, high available RDBMS compatible with Oracle and MySQL

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.
