Description

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

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.
