Name

Description

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

Widely used open source RDBMS

Open Source Operational and Transactional Enterprise NoSQL Document Database

Distributed, fault tolerant key-value store

MySQL wire-compliant distributed RDBMS that combines an in-memory row-oriented and a disc-based column-oriented storage with patented universal storage to handle transactional and analytical workloads in one single table type

Primary database model

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Document store

Key-value store

with links between data sets and object tags for the creation of secondary indexes
