VoltDB Company Overview

 
VoltDB is solving the problem of database scalability for applications with fast-growing transaction (OLTP) workloads such as those found in Web 2.0, financial trading, gaming, telecommunications and software as a service (SaaS) businesses.

Founded in 2009 by DBMS R&D pioneer Mike Stonebraker and serial entrepreneur, Andy Palmer, VoltDB eliminates traditional price/performance and scalability bottlenecks via an innovative DBMS architecture that combines in-memory processing, a shared-nothing scale-out architecture and a unique solution to ensure high-availability 24x7. The result is an open-source DBMS that scales on clusters of inexpensive hardware (such as cloud platforms) and offers 50x better price/performance than traditional databases.

And the best thing is that Unlike NoSQL alternatives, VoltDB does not sacrifice SQL or ACID (transactional integrity), so there's less learning curve, less coding and less complexity.

VoltDB, LLC is headquartered outside of Boston, MA and is lead by some of the best data management and software entrepreneurs in the business from Oracle, HP, MIT, IBM and Vertica.
