Name

Description

dBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.

Distributed Event Store optimized for Internet of Things use cases

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.

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
