Name

Description

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

Embeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values

Elastic, large scale data warehouse service leveraging the broad eco-system of SQL Server

Data warehouse and analytics appliance part of IBM PureSystems

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.
