Redis - advanced key-value store
Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists, sets, and ordered sets. All this data types can be manipulated with atomic operations to push/pop elements, add/remove elements, perform server side union, intersection, difference between sets, and so forth. Redis supports different kind of sorting abilities.
It is possible to think at Redis as a data structures server, it is not just another key-value DB. Redis supports operations like atomic push and pop of elements on lists, taking ranges of elements from this lists at once, trimming of lists, server-side intersections of sets and even sorting data.
Redis has client libraries in all languages. To prove the ability of Redis, Twitterclone project has been created using PHP and Redis.

membase - distributed key-value database
Membase is an distributed, key-value database management system optimized for storing data behind interactive web applications. These applications must service many concurrent users, creating, storing, retrieving, aggregating, manipulating and presenting data in real-time. Supporting these requirements, membase processes data operations with quasi-deterministic low latency and high sustained throughput.
Hyperdex - A Searchable Distributed Key-Value Store
HyperDex is a distributed, searchable key-value store. HyperDex provides a unique search primitive which enables searches over stored values. By design, HyperDex retains the performance of traditional key-value stores while enabling support for the search operation. It is fast, scalable, Consistent, Fault tolerant.
Memcached - distributed object caching system
Memcached is high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load. Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.

MongoDB
MongoDB (from "humongous") is a scalable, high-performance, open source, dynamic-schema, document-oriented database. MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems.
OrientDB - The NoSQL Graph-Document DBMS
OrientDB has the flexibility of the Document databases and the power of the Graph databases to manage relationships. It can work in schema-less mode, schema-full or a mix of both. It can store up to 150,000 records per second on common hardware. OrientDB has been designed to be very fast. It inherits the best features and concepts from the Object Databases, Graph DBMS and the modern NoSQL engines.
