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.
