IRONdb seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.
