Name

Description

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

DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.

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.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

A secure RDBMS, designed for easy portability from Oracle
