Name

Description

High performant column-oriented DBMS for analytic workloads using MySQL or PostgreSQL as a frontend

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Scalable Graph Database platform making enterprise data available by exploiting inferred entities and relationships

A .NET Object Database that can be embedded/distributed and extended to a graph data model (VelocityGraph)

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS
