At our recent webinar, “Is Your Data Architecture Ready for Microservices?”, we received a number of questions from attendees about Volt Active Data and how it works. From integrating Volt Active Data with Kafka to running Volt Active Data in a container, here’s a recap on the FAQs asked during the webinar. Editor’s Note: Unless […]
The world is speeding up; people expect customized information and services immediately. In these tumultuous times, some companies are clinging to their legacy data infrastructure as a security blanket. However, traditional RDBMSes are just not able to provide the massive scales, edge distribution, and virtual or cloud deployments that are necessary for modern applications. In […]
Modern applications have two primary needs: performance and ease of operations, both at scale. Performance The performance consists of two aspects: throughput and latency. Both are driven by applications becoming machine-driven i.e. API-driven. Humans will wait much longer than an API will since APIs have strict latency expectations due to timeouts. When you take a […]
Volt Active Data and DBTA teamed up to host a webinar in October titled “Architectural Considerations for a Modern Database to Operate at Scale”. We had a number of excellent questions during that session, which are reproduced below. Editor’s Note Unless otherwise noted, the question is coming from a webinar attendee via our chat functionality […]
Editor’s Note: This piece originally appeared in DBTA. More companies are realizing that leveraging real-time data is the key to success in modern applications, which means that more people are searching for the right in-memory database technology. However, with many options, comparing in-memory databases for your use case can be challenging. Regardless of use case and […]
Companies and business leaders are increasingly realizing the advantages and opportunities provided by implementing real-time decision making and action on streams of data. Joe McKendrick, writing for the DBTA thought leadership series, sees the trend as well — and has the evidence to prove it. He notes that a Unisphere/Information Today, Inc. survey “found that […]
One of the big topics at the OpenStack conference was how to prepare and implement a successful transition to 5G. Unfortunately, this means that the age-old Telco bugbears will rear their ugly heads again, including latency. 5G, as a fundamental requirement, mandates a 1 millisecond latency from the datasource to its destination. Currently, most applications […]
Volt Active Data has been providing value to telco communications solution providers since our beginnings back in 2009. Back then, we were designed into OSS/BSS software offered by companies like Openet and HP (now HPE) because our database could make the very fast authorization/authentication decisions that were needed while offering the high reliability required by carriers.
