Best SQL Databases

SingleStore (formerly MemSQL) is a distributed, highly-scalable SQL database that can run anywhere. We deliver maximum performance for transactional and analytical workloads with familiar relational models. SingleStore is a scalable SQL database that ingests data continuously to perform operational analytics for the front lines of your business. Ingest millions of events per second with ACID transactions while simultaneously analyzing billions of rows of data in relational SQL, JSON, geospatial, and full-text search formats. SingleStore delivers ultimate data ingestion performance at scale and supports built in batch loading and real time data pipelines. SingleStore lets you achieve ultra fast query response across both live and historical data using familiar ANSI SQL. Perform ad hoc analysis with business intelligence tools, run machine learning algorithms for real-time scoring, perform geoanalytic queries in real time.

CockroachDB: Cloud-native, distributed SQL. Your cloud applications deserve a cloud-native database. Cloud-based apps and services deserve a database that scales across clouds, eases operational complexity, and improves reliability. CockroachDB delivers resilient, distributed SQL with ACID transactions and data partitioned by location. Automate operations for mission-critical applications by pairing CockroachDB with orchestration tools like Kubernetes and Mesosphere DC/OS. Every node can service both reads and writes so that you can scale query throughput and database capacity by simply adding more endpoints. Just add new nodes to CockroachDB, and it automatically rebalances data, completely removing the pain of manual sharding. As demand shifts, CockroachDB detects hotspots and intelligently distributes data to maintain performance. Tune your database at the row level so that data lives close to your users and you can minimize query latency.

How is platform independent eXtremeDB different? - Hybrid data storage. Unlike other IMDS, eXtremeDB can be all-in-memory, all-persistent, or have a mix of in-memory tables and persistent tables - Active Replication Fabric™ is unique to eXtremeDB, offering bidirectional replication, multi-tier replication (e.g. edge-to-gateway-to-gateway-to-cloud), compression to maximize limited bandwidth networks and more - Row & Columnar Flexibility for Time Series Data supports database designs that combine row-based and column-based layouts, in order to best leverage the CPU cache speed - Embedded and Client/Server. Fast, flexible eXtremeDB is data management wherever you need it, and can be deployed as an embedded database system, and/or as a client/server database system -A hard real-time deterministic option in eXtremeDB/rt Designed for use in resource-constrained, mission-critical embedded systems. Found in everything from routers to satellites to trains to stock markets worldwide

The world is moving to distributed applications and architectures, and your database should too. Learn how you can deploy where you want, when you want, and how you want with a distributed SQL database. Migrate existing SQL applications to a distributed, multi-node architecture that can dynamically scale out and in. Our Transaction Engines (TEs) and Storage Managers (SMs) work together to ensure ACID compliance across multiple nodes. Deploy in a distributed architecture. When you deploy your database with multiple nodes, the loss of one or multiple nodes will not result in the loss of database access. Deploy TEs and SMs to meet your variable workload needs, or deploy in the different environments the teams in your organization uses: in private and public clouds, in hybrid environments, and across clouds.

Volt Active Data is a data platform built to make your entire tech stack leaner, faster, and less expensive, so that your applications (and your company) can scale seamlessly to meet the ultra-low latency SLAs of 5G, IoT, edge computing, and whatever comes next. Designed to augment your existing big data investments, such as NoSQL, Hadoop, Kubernetes, Kafka, and traditional databases or data warehouses, Volt Active Data replaces the various layers typically required to make contextual decisions on streaming data with a single, unified layer that can handle ingest to action in less than 10 milliseconds. The world is full of data that’s generated, stored, forgotten, and then deleted. “Active Data” is data that needs to be acted on immediately to gain business value from it. There are lots of traditional and NoSQL data storage products that you can use to keep such data. There’s also data that you can make money from, if only you can act on it fast enough to ‘influence the moment’.
