Archived Webinar: Navigating the Database Universe

The design decisions you make today will have a huge performance impact down the line. For databases, until recently, the choice was easy. Essentially, you had one option: the RDBMS. Today, there's a new universe of databases being thrown into production - and some not always to the greatest success. How do you make the right choice for your next application? Database pioneer Dr. Michael Stonebraker and VoltDB co-founder Scott Jarr have some thoughts.

Archived Webinar: Streamlining Hadoop for Enterprise Adoption

As Hadoop adoption increases, it has become evident that programming Hadoop is too complex and expensive for mainstream enterprises. Worse, it's taking too long to find useful insights amid an ocean of low quality, disconnected data. What are the key barriers to Hadoop adoption? How can organizations reduce costs and mitigate data risks? How can they gain quicker access to operational insights? What can they do to improve data quality and reduce total pipeline processing times? This webinar recording explores the strategies that leading organizations are using to streamline Hadoop processing and eliminate adoption challenges.

Archived Webinar: VoltDB for Big Data Applications

Big Data is commonly defined as having three characteristics – velocity, volume and variety. This webinar focuses primarily on the velocity requirement. Through a use-case format, Scott Jarr, VoltDB's CSO and Co-Founder, discusses the properties of high velocity data sources and identifies requirements for capturing, storing and analyzing of high velocity data. He clarifies where VoltDB fits in the Big Data ecosystem, and how you can use VoltDB in concert with Hadoop and popular analytic database products to address a broad range of Big Data applications.

Archived Webinar: OldSQL vs. NoSQL vs. NewSQL on New OLTP

Remember how we used to buy airline tickets – through a travel agent? That was commerce at the speed of the intermediary. In 1985, 1,000 TPS was considered an incredible stretch goal. Fast forward to today and we see new applications coming online every day requiring transaction throughput of hundreds of thousands of TPS. How can organizations ingest and manage data with such throughput requirements? Should they try to manually shard their favorite legacy RDBMS to gain speed and scale? Should they give up SQL and ACID altogether and adopt a NoSQL datastore? Are there emerging alternatives within the RDBMS domain that support high velocity applications, without throwing the baby out with the bath water?

Watch this webinar with Dr. Michael Stonebraker, RDBMS pioneer, for an entertaining and illuminating look at alternative approaches for addressing high velocity data problems. Dr. Stonebraker discusses OldSQL, NoSQL and NewSQL alternatives in the context of New OLTP applications.

Archived Webinar: Developing .NET & C# Applications in VoltDB

VoltDB's rich .NET C# client library provides high-performance, and native support for Windows-based clients. After a primer on the basics of building C# WinForm applications and services backed by a VoltDB database cluster, the presentation dives into specific topics such as advanced UI integration and DataBinding. As a practical example, we will use a "mini-SQL Management Studio" for VoltDB built entirely in C# and leveraging the VoltDB .NET client library.

Archived Webinar: Five Data Management Mega-trends to Watch

The data management landscape is changing in profound ways. Internet commerce and social media are dis-intermediating traditional forms of data entry; sensors are appearing everywhere, increasing the velocity and volume of data at the point of acquisition; cloud computing is delivering utility-style economics that enable new kinds of data intensive applications.

During this webinar VoltDB's Founder, Mike Stonebraker, identifies the five IT trends that will most significantly impact how we will produce, manage and consume data in the coming years, and he'll offer guidance for how IT organizations can effectively evolve to meet the oncoming data management opportunities and challenges.

Archived Webinar: Choosing the Best Database for Your Online Games

Selecting the right database for your next product can be a complex and time consuming process. Many game developers have gone the route of MySQL/memcached, and the trade-offs of this choice are pretty well understood. There are also a lot of new datastores on the market today, particularly around the NoSQL theme – what are the situations when these make sense? This webinar identifies the key data management requirements common to many online games and map those requirements to available database solutions. It covers criteria such as speed, scalability, flexibility, data consistency, operational ease, developer productivity, license and community. It compares different database alternatives in the context of these criteria, and explores under which circumstances each one is the best fit for gaming applications.

“We needed to implement a real-time traffic monitoring system that would detect and mitigate large scale DDoS traffic. VoltDB was our choice from the beginning because it’s a super-fast datastore that supports SQL. Using VoltDB, we were able to implement a scalable monitoring application at a fraction of the cost of expensive commercial appliances."
