Description

Scalable Time Series DBMS based on HBase

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

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.

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 type

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)
