DescriptionTime Series DBMS based on CassandraRDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.Industry 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.SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environmentsOpen source search engine for searching in data from different sources, e.g. relational databases
