System Properties Comparison atoti vs. Newts vs. RRDtool vs. TimesTen vs. ToroDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

ToroDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

An in-memory DBMS combining transactional and analytical processing to handle the aggregation of ever-changing data.

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

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 RDBMS compatible to Oracle

A MongoDB-compatible JSON document store, built on top of PostgreSQL
