Volt Active Data (formerly VoltDB) is an in-memory database designed by Michael Stonebraker, Sam Madden, and Daniel Abadi.

It is an ACID-compliant RDBMS that uses a shared-nothing architecture, and is derived from work done by Stonebraker on OLTP system performance[1] and optimization.[2]

It is available in both enterprise and community editions. The community edition is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License.
