I would disagree with that assessment. My take is that Voltdb is a high throughput, fault tolerant transaction processing db as opposed to a caching system or key value store. It's easy to get hung up on the in-memory nature of it but I believe that it is both fault tolerant through redundant copies of the data and fully acid compliant.

Its proper competitors are stuff like redis and memcached.

Anybody looked at VoltDB? I haven't dug into it, but curious about it.
