VoltDB Announces Version 5.0: Expands Hadoop Integration, Extends Leading Fast Data Application Development PlatformBEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With the Internet of Things driving the availability of – and need for – real time data, an increasing number of organizations are looking to capture and process fast data to create interactive and engaging applications. To respond to this growing demand, VoltDB today announced Version 5.0 of its in-memory, scale-out operational database. With increased support for the Hadoop ecosystem, expanded SQL support and a new Management Center, Version 5.0 is the leading platform to create and manage fast data applications. A Growing Demand: Hadoop + Streaming Apps Up until now, the solution for building streaming apps has been to implement the Lambda Architecture using a "DIY" solution made up of separate open source components; unfortunately, this leads to unnecessary complexity, performance overhead, and technical risk. As result, companies are turning to VoltDB's purpose-built database platform to deliver the performance, scale and capability to ingest, analyze and make decisions on fast, streaming data in real time. "Our customers' demand for real-time, intelligent and actionable subscriber insights has never been greater," said Prateek Kapadia, CTO of Flytxt. "With VoltDB, we are able to focus our attention on the discovery, creation and dissemination of subscriber insight, rather than its storage and update mechanisms. With its single integrated platform and rapid data ingestion and export, we remain on the cutting edge and help our customers do the same." Version 5.0: New Features and Enhancements
"Developers are in need of better tools with which to develop fast data streaming applications with real-time analytics and decision making across industries," said Bruce Reading, President and CEO of VoltDB. "As the popularity and adoption for Hadoop continues to surge, there is an increased need for integration between fast and big data so developers can focus on the applications and not the infrastructure. Version 5.0 meets that demand."
