System Properties Comparison eXtremeDB vs. JaguarDB vs. MySQL vs. RRDtool vs. Titan

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.

Description

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

Widely used open source RDBMS

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

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

Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.

Primary database model
