    Oracle TimesTen
    Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database (TimesTen) delivers real time application performance (low response time and high throughput) by changing the assumptions around where data resides at runtime. By managing data in memory, and optimizing data structures and access algorithms accordingly, database operations execute with maximum efficiency achieving dramatic gains in responsiveness and throughput. With the introduction of TimesTen Scaleout, a shared nothing scale-out architecture based on the existing in-memory technology, TimesTen allows databases to transparently scale across dozens of hosts, reach hundreds of terabytes in size and support hundreds of millions of transactions per second without the need for manual database sharding or workload partitioning.

    Apache Geode
    Build high-speed, data-intensive applications that elastically meet performance requirements at any scale. Take advantage of Apache Geode's unique technology that blends advanced techniques for data replication, partitioning and distributed processing. Apache Geode provides a database-like consistency model, reliable transaction processing and a shared-nothing architecture to maintain very low latency performance with high concurrency processing. Data can easily be partitioned (sharded) or replicated between nodes allowing performance to scale as needed. Durability is ensured through redundant in-memory copies and disk-based persistence. Super fast write-ahead-logging (WAL) persistence with a shared-nothing architecture that is optimized for fast parallel recovery of nodes or an entire cluster.

    VMware Tanzu GemFire
    VMware Tanzu GemFire is a distributed, in-memory, key-value store that performs read and write operations at blazingly fast speeds. It offers highly available parallel message queues, continuous availability, and an event-driven architecture you can scale dynamically, with no downtime. As your data size requirements increase to support high-performance, real-time apps, Tanzu GemFire can scale linearly with ease. Traditional databases are often too brittle or unreliable for use with microservices. That’s why every modern distributed architecture needs a cache! With Tanzu GemFire, applications get low-latency responses to data access requests, and always return fresh data. Your applications can subscribe to real-time events to react to changes immediately. Tanzu GemFire’s continuous queries notify your application when new data is available, which reduces the overhead on your SQL database.

    Oracle Database
    Oracle database products offer customers cost-optimized and high-performance versions of Oracle Database, the world's leading converged, multi-model database management system, as well as in-memory, NoSQL, and MySQL databases. Oracle Autonomous Database, available on-premises via Oracle Cloud@Customer or in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, enables customers to simplify relational database environments and reduce management workloads. Oracle Autonomous Database eliminates the complexity of operating and securing Oracle Database while giving customers the highest levels of performance, scalability, and availability. Oracle Database can be deployed on-premises when customers have data residency and network latency concerns. Customers with applications that are dependent on specific Oracle database versions have complete control over the versions they run and when those versions change.

    Hazelcast

    Hazelcast

    Hazelcast

    In-Memory Computing Platform. The digital world is different. Microseconds matter. That's why the world's largest organizations rely on us to power their most time-sensitive applications at scale. New data-enabled applications can deliver transformative business power – if they meet today’s requirement of immediacy. Hazelcast solutions complement virtually any database to deliver results that are significantly faster than a traditional system of record. Hazelcast’s distributed architecture provides redundancy for continuous cluster up-time and always available data to serve the most demanding applications. Capacity grows elastically with demand, without compromising performance or availability. The fastest in-memory data grid, combined with third-generation high-speed event processing, delivered through the cloud.

    memcached

    memcached

    memcached

    You can think of it as a short-term memory for your applications. memcached allows you to take memory from parts of your system where you have more than you need and make it accessible to areas where you have less than you need. The first scenario illustrates the classic deployment strategy, however you'll find that it's both wasteful in the sense that the total cache size is a fraction of the actual capacity of your web farm, but also in the amount of effort required to keep the cache consistent across all of those nodes. With memcached, you can see that all of the servers are looking into the same virtual pool of memory. Also, as the demand for your application grows to the point where you need to have more servers, it generally also grows in terms of the data that must be regularly accessed. A deployment strategy where these two aspects of your system scale together just makes sense.

    Apache Ignite

    Apache Ignite

    Apache Ignite

    Use Ignite as a traditional SQL database by leveraging JDBC drivers, ODBC drivers, or the native SQL APIs that are available for Java, C#, C++, Python, and other programming languages. Seamlessly join, group, aggregate, and order your distributed in-memory and on-disk data. Accelerate your existing applications by 100x using Ignite as an in-memory cache or in-memory data grid that is deployed over one or more external databases. Think of a cache that you can query with SQL, transact, and compute on. Build modern applications that support transactional and analytical workloads by using Ignite as a database that scales beyond the available memory capacity. Ignite allocates memory for your hot data and goes to disk whenever applications query cold records. Execute kilobyte-size custom code over petabytes of data. Turn your Ignite database into a distributed supercomputer for low-latency calculations, complex analytics, and machine learning.

    GridDB

    GridDB

    GridDB

    GridDB uses multicast communication to constitute a cluster. Set the network to enable multicast communication. First, check the host name and an IP address. Execute “hostname -i” command to check the settings of an IP address of the host. If the IP address of the machine is the same as below, no need to perform additional network setting and you can jump to the next section. GridDB is a database that manages a group of data (known as a row) that is made up of a key and multiple values. Besides having a composition of an in-memory database that arranges all the data in the memory, it can also adopt a hybrid composition combining the use of a disk (including SSD as well) and a memory.

    RocksDB

    RocksDB

    RocksDB

    RocksDB uses a log structured database engine, written entirely in C++, for maximum performance. Keys and values are just arbitrarily-sized byte streams. RocksDB is optimized for fast, low latency storage such as flash drives and high-speed disk drives. RocksDB exploits the full potential of high read/write rates offered by flash or RAM. RocksDB provides basic operations such as opening and closing a database, reading and writing to more advanced operations such as merging and compaction filters. RocksDB is adaptable to different workloads. From database storage engines such as MyRocks to application data caching to embedded workloads, RocksDB can be used for a variety of data needs.

    H2

    H2

    H2

    Welcome to H2, the Java SQL database. In embedded mode, an application opens a database from within the same JVM using JDBC. This is the fastest and easiest connection mode. The disadvantage is that a database may only be open in one virtual machine (and class loader) at any time. As in all modes, both persistent and in-memory databases are supported. There is no limit on the number of database open concurrently, or on the number of open connections. The mixed mode is a combination of the embedded and the server mode. The first application that connects to a database does that in embedded mode, but also starts a server so that other applications (running in different processes or virtual machines) can concurrently access the same data. The local connections are as fast as if the database is used in just the embedded mode, while the remote connections are a bit slower.
