VoltDB: Powering Applications with Fast Data

With data streaming in from different sources, there is a bigger need for organizations today to manage information on a timely basis and analyze it to receive productive results for business purpose. However, the fast data—data streaming into businesses from mobile, social, sensors, and other sources, today requires streaming analytics with transactions. Further, the streaming applications of today require stream processed data and results within the context of live process. VoltDB addresses these concerns with their in-memory NewSQL database that adds intelligence to data with their streaming capability, making it reliable and smart. “NewSQL database provides fast data ingestion to organizations with real time analytics and enriches data that enables business to gain massive, competitive edge,” explains Bruce Reading, CEO at VoltDB.

VoltDB is a fast in-memory database which is transactional, supports disk durability and has a very low latency. It enables applications to use real-time streaming data to enrich user experience, optimize interactions, and create value. Applications built with VoltDB perform authorizations, take actions, and make decisions in milliseconds. It is designed as the fastest operational database which enables organizations to increase their customer loyalty, communicate the offer to the right subscriber and use analytics with transactions that delivers faster results.

Besides that, VoltDB when aligned with hadoop offers end-to end solutions and operational capability of in-memory analysis. Hadoop which is an open source framework manages the massive amounts of data in real time. Therefore, when both are combined together, VoltDB has the ability to export data by using Hadoop based analytics. In simple words, VoltDB with Hadoop offers developers a closed-loop system that gives insight into an organization’s data.
