VoltDB 1.1 is improvement on database performance and deployment features; touting better performance than traditional database systems like MySQL and NoSQL key-value stores. With shown transactions in the millions per second on inexpensive clusters VoltDB is said to be ideal for developers of ad serving, gaming, financial trading, on-line business, and systems with large and fast-growing transaction volumes.

“Working with VoltDB has been amazing,” said Alan Cima, an independent application architect currently developing a next-generation Web 2.0 application for a large financial services firm.”The database provides stunning performance, and for such a young product, its quality and reliability are remarkable. The VoltDB team has been very responsive during our project; they even added several deployment features to version 1.1 at our request.”
