DescriptionA distributed reliable key-value storeA distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache LuceneIndustry 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.Columnar RDBMS optimized for Big Data analyticsScalable Graph Database platform making enterprise data available by exploiting inferred entities and relationships
