At our recent webinar, “Is Your Data Architecture Ready for Microservices?”, we received a number of questions from attendees about VoltDB and how it works. From integrating VoltDB with Kafka to running VoltDB in a container, here’s a recap on the FAQs asked during the...
The introduction of 5G networks will only increase the data volume and speed requirements that are already putting pressure on traditional data architectures.
5G architecture recommends a service-based approach to enable end-to-end software defined network functions. Initially virtualization-based - and now heading toward containerization — a service-based approach inherently leads to a need for separation of state and business logic. What is missing in this thought-line is...
Traditional pub/sub systems such as Apache Kafka (and their numerous ever evolving stream processing avatars like Apache Samza, Apache Storm, Apache Flink, etc.) work fine for a bunch of simple use cases where there is a need for simple decisions, speed, scale and stability....
We are hard at work on VoltDB and are pleased to release V9. This release focuses on new ways to work with the torrents of streaming data that VoltDB can ingest, making VoltDB the best technology for real-time intelligent decisions on streaming data. We...
As 5G architectures are getting rolled-out, we are seeing a spike in RFPs from the largest mobile operators. The CSPs we are talking to across the globe are racing to modernize their Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) systems with the end goal of...
Need 640K TPS and perfectly accurate running totals? VoltDB has the answer. But it’s not what you’d expect… Anyone who has worked in the OLTP RDBMS space for any length of time will have noticed that heavy OLTP workloads don’t sit well with heavy summarization/COUNT (*)/running...
As 5G gets rolled out across the world, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are focused on reinventing existing apps to adapt to the high velocity streaming data generated by 5G networks. The technology that worked for 2G, 3G, and 4G will not meet 5G’s stringent SLAs...
Recently, data warehouse architect and industry expert, John Ryan, wrote an article about the evolution of database architecture. In it, he reviews traditional database and machine architectures (Oracle, Microsoft, IBM), then more interestingly goes on to detail the main solutions for shared memory, shared disk,...
“Inside the hall in Barcelona it’s like ‘Star Wars’. Outside on the streets of Barcelona it’s like the ‘bar scene’ from Star Wars…” As expected “5G” cropped up pretty much everywhere at MWC...
