Name

Description

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.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

In-Memory RDBMS compatible to Oracle

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS
