Ovum Highlights Impact of VoltDB Fast Data Platform in Telecommunications

BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VoltDB today announced that Version 5.6 of its fast data platform has been featured in an Ovum opinion piece. Ovum, an independent analyst and consultancy firm, specializing in global coverage of IT and telecommunications industries, recognized VoltDB as an in-memory SQL database that "allows customers to build applications that process fast or streaming data and provides actionable, context-aware insights in real-time."

Telecommunications providers have massive amounts of data streaming across network, service and customer layers. This real-time data holds the key to maximizing the value of infrastructure assets, ensuring business operations and service delivery, and keeping and growing customer relationships.  The "additional challenge is that these data volumes are increasing exponentially and require streaming analytics combined with transactions to support taking action," according to Ovum.

VoltDB's leading in-memory SQL database combines streaming analytics with transaction processing in a single, horizontal scale-out platform that enables telecommunications companies to harness the power of real-time data. With new features such as Active/Active replication for distributed workloads and fast import of multiple streams via an advanced Kafka importer, VoltDB v5.6 is a powerful data platform for developing and managing mission-critical fast data applications. Ovum agrees, stating "we see VoltDB step up with geo-distributed Active/Active database replication, which supports multiple database instances, including geographically distributed instances, to support the same application. Operators use Active/Active to optimize application response times and keep business-critical applications running in an emergency and at unexpected peak times."

The Ovum report goes on: "Version 5.6 provides updated support for the import and export of data streams and Active/Active database replication. In terms of business operations, that means telcos can build fast data pipelines quickly, and speed up their development cycles and time to market."
