Name

Description

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

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.

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service
