Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A multi-model, scalable, distributed NoSQL database, designed to provide highly reliable, flexible, and available data management across a configurable set of storage nodes

Distributed, fault tolerant key-value store

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.

SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments

High performance Graph DBMS supporting HTAP high availability cluster deployment

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store
Relational DBMS

Key-value store

with links between data sets and object tags for the creation of secondary indexes

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
