Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

FairCom EDGE is an Industry 4.0 solution built to integrate, collect, aggregate and synchronize mission-critical data in edge computing environments

A widely adopted in-memory data grid

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

A drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features.

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.

Primary database model

Key-value store
Relational DBMS

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

Secondary database models

Document store

JSON support with IMDG 3.12
