+* [Amazon DynamoDB](http://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/) - DynamoDB is a fast, 
fully managed NoSQL database service that 
+   makes it simple and cost-effective to store and retrieve any amount of 
data, and serve any level of request traffic. 
+   All data items are stored on Solid State Drives (SSDs), and are replicated 
across 3 Availability Zones for high 
+   availability and durability.
+* [Apache Accumulo](http://accumulo.apache.org) - The Apache Accumulo™ 
sorted, distributed key/value store is a robust, 
+   scalable, high performance data storage and retrieval system. Apache 
Accumulo is based on Google's BigTable design and 
+   is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift. Apache Accumulo 
features a few novel improvements on the 
+   BigTable design in the form of cell-based access control and a server-side 
programming mechanism that can modify 
+   key/value pairs at various points in the data management process.
+* [Apache Avro](http://avro.apache.org) - Apache Avro™ is a data 
serialization system.
+* [Apache Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org) - The Apache Cassandra 
database is the right choice when you need 
+   scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Linear 
scalability and proven fault-tolerance on 
+   commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it the perfect platform for 
mission-critical data. Cassandra's 
+   support for replicating across multiple datacenters is best-in-class, 
providing lower latency for your users and 
+   the peace of mind of knowing that you can survive regional outages. 
+* [Apache Hadoop](http://hadoop.apache.org) - The Apache™ Hadoop® project 
develops open-source software for reliable, 
+   scalable, distributed computing. 
+* [Apache HBase](http://hbase.apache.org) - Apache HBase™ is the Hadoop 
database, a distributed, scalable, big data store. 
+* [Hector 
Client](http://hector-client.github.com/hector/build/html/index.html) - Hector 
is a high level Java client for 
+   Apache Cassandra currently in use on a number of production systems some of 
which have node counts into the hundreds. 
+* [HSQLDB](http://www.hsqldb.org) - HSQLDB (HyperSQL DataBase) is the leading 
SQL relational database engine written in Java.
+* [MySQL](http://www.mysql.com) - The worlds most popular open source database.
