Voltron Data, the company advancing data analytics standards and the most significant corporate contributor to Apache Arrow, recently announced that CRN had named it one of the ten hottest big data startups of 2022.

Rick Whiting, the editor at CRN, said, "Businesses and organizations continue to be overwhelmed with big data, struggling to effectively manage data that's growing in volume, expanding in variety, and accelerating in speed—never mind efforts to organize and analyze all of it to gain valuable insight that can lead to competitive advantages."

Voltron Data is dedicated to developing open-source data standards to uncover the untapped potential of the data analytics industry. Also, customers can utilize these standards to exchange and process massive datasets amongst the applications and tools they are already familiar with.

Using popular open-source projects, Voltron Data is building cross-language open standards and creating interchangeable software components to minimize system complexity and increase system performance and efficiency.

  • Apache Arrow: Arrow is a multilingual set of tools for faster data transfer and in-memory computing
  • Ibis: The Ibis framework gives scientists, engineers, and data analysts, the power to access their data via an engine-agnostic Python library
  • Substrait: Substrait aims to establish a cross-language, interoperable standard for data computing operations, connecting analysis tools with computing engines and hardware.

2022 Voltron Data Milestones:

  • February: Voltron Data introduced with $110 million in seed and Series A funding
  • March: The company announced free and paid support offerings for Apache Arrow
  • June: It announced free and paid support offerings for Ibis
  • August: The company further solidified its commitment and contributions to Velox

"As exciting as 2022 was, we expect to see even greater adoption of open source standards in 2023."
