Comparison of structured storage software explained

Comparison of structured storage software should not be confused with COM Structured Storage.

Structured storage is computer storage for structured data, often in the form of a distributed database.[1] Computer software formally known as structured storage systems include Apache Cassandra,[2] Google's Bigtable[3] and Apache HBase.[4]

Comparison

The following is a comparison of notable structured storage systems.
