Many drivers of innovation are widely accepted. New forms of data — that were previously difficult or impossible to capture — have become available from connected devices (the Internet of Things). These new forms of data must now be used not only for analytics, but also within transactions. Unique due to its real-time capability, VoltDB combines capabilities of three historical database segments: operational databases, real-time analytics and stream processing.

"We believe VoltDB's improved position on the 2014 Magic Quadrant highlights the rapid adoption of streaming data for real-time applications," said VoltDB CEO Bruce Reading. "As the leader in Fast Data, we are confident that VoltDB's in-memory architecture will continue to strengthen our position in the industry and help companies continue to derive faster and more accurate business insights over the next 12 months and beyond."

In the Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems for 2014, Gartner analysts Donald Feinberg, Merv Adrian and Nick Heudecker look at the ways in which "the operational DBMS market continues to grow, with innovative products and features being delivered by both new and traditional vendors."
