VoltDB does support cross-partition transactions. They're not as fast as single-partition transactions, of course, because you're doing them over a network. But distributed transactions have been a supported feature…
Fair question. We had some reservations about using EC2 for the reasons you mention. But we wanted to avoid any perceptions that we'd somehow cooked the books, so decided to run the tests on "neutral" gear. If you look…
As an in-memory RDBMS, VoltDB competes directly against products like Oracle TimesTen and IBM's SolidDB. Comparatively, VoltDB's architecture is designed specifically to scale out on clusters of commodity servers…
A few answers: Yes, the tests were run without an ORM. Although VoltDB is accessible via JDBC, best throughput is achieved with parameterized SQL embedded in Java stored procedures. That's how the Node.js benchmark app…
