Tokutek make a database engine.
They offer it in two versions-
• One version (TokuDB) which runs inside MySQL (Alongside InnoDB/XtraDB, MyISAM, etc).
• One version (TokuMX) which runs in/as a fork of MongoDB. Since Mongo didn't historically use plugable storage engines, they had to fork the MongoDB code in order to use their storage engine.
Their engine has some advantages over the traditional Mongo storage engine (Now called MMAPv1) - One of the most prominent was that it supported in-line compression.
Many of these advantages are mitigated somewhat by MongoDB's new WiredTiger engine.
