Fast data platform combines analytics and transactions
The rapid growth of mobility and the Internet of Things is driving a need for real-time data analysis, and intensifying demand for faster insight and action in the enterprise.
In response to this demand, database specialist VoltDB is announcing version 5.6 of its SQL in-memory operational database, a fast data platform that combines streaming analytics with transactions to support mission-critical, real-time applications.
"Global organizations are using revolutionary approaches to leverage fast data to automate better operational decisions, enable micro-personalized customer experiences in real-time and enhance the performance of mission-critical applications," says Bruce Reading, president and CEO of VoltDB. "VoltDB is the industry's only database platform to take the complexity out of building fast data applications, enabling enterprises to more quickly monetize the value of their real-time data streams. By unifying continuous streaming analytics with transactions and adding the power of Active/Active replication, VoltDB is accelerating the business impact of fast data applications for every organization".
Enhancements in the new version include support for import and export of multiple data streams without the need to write code. There's also support for Elasticsearch so that VoltDB data can be sent to Elasticsearch servers or clusters to perform full-text searches using the popular text search engine.
Active/Active database replication enables disparate clusters to serve write transactions with changes replicated to another cluster. Data compression makes WAN transfers faster and more efficient, and customers can partition database replicas with rack-awareness to prevent having replicas on the same physical rack, improving availability in the event of a rack, chassis or power failure.
The latest version of VoltDB is available to download now from the company's website.
