Name

Description

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

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

Open-source Time Series DBMS and monitoring system

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

SpaceTime is a spatio-temporal DBMS with a focus on performance.
