Volt has introduced Active for In-Service Upgrades, a first-of-its-kind offering delivering ‘five nines’ availability for any enterprise.

With Active, operators finally have an elegant solution for intra-cluster node upgrades, without having to shut anything down. There is no longer a need to replicate clusters or use expensive resources at premium times. They can perform upgrades with zero downtime and while in service — a key requirement for cloud-native deployments.

“This is the risk-mitigation solution the market has been waiting for,” said Volt CEO David Flower. “5G latency SLAs are now in the single-digit millisecond range, and you can no longer rely on routing traffic to another data centre while a site is being upgraded. The round trip simply takes too long, and building a third cluster for upgrade purposes is far too costly.”

Active cements Volt’s standing as a leader in providing tangible business value to enterprise customers who require real-time data processing at massive scale and low latency. Volt-powered applications make decisions on billions of mission-critical events every day.
