Apache Cassandra database is the right choice when you need scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Linear scalability and proven fault-tolerance on commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it the perfect platform for mision-critical data.
Cassandra’s support for replicating across multiple datacenters is best-in-class, providing lower latency for your users and the peace of mind of knowing that you can survive regional outages.
Main features
- Proven
Cassandra is in use at Constant Contact, CERN, Comcast, eBay and over 1500 more companies - Fault tolerance
Data is automatically replicated to multiple nodes for fault-tolerance. Replication across multiple data centers is supported. Failed nodes can be replaced with no downtime. - Performance
Cassandra consistently outperforms popular NoSQL alternatives in benchmarks and real applications, primarily because of fundamental architectural choices. - Decentralized
There are no single points of failure. There are no network bottlenecks. Every node in the cluster is identical. - Scalable
Easy to scale out - Durable
Cassandra is suitable for applications that can’t afford to lose data, even when an entire data center goes down. - You’re in control
Choose between synchronous or asynchronous replication for each updata. Highly available asynchronous operations are optimized with features like Hinted Handoff and Read Repair. - Elastic
Read and write throughput both increase linearly as new machines are added, with no downtime or interruption to applications - Professionally supported
