DescriptionElastic, large scale data warehouse service leveraging the broad eco-system of SQL ServerHigh performance knowledge graph and semantic reasoning engineIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.MySQL wire-compliant distributed RDBMS that combines an in-memory row-oriented and a disc-based column-oriented storage with patented universal storage to handle transactional and analytical workloads in one single table typeEnterprise Knowledge Graph platform and graph DBMS with high availability, high performance reasoning, and virtualization
