Unlock the full potential of Apache Cassandra

  • Built for Any Environment

    Run Cassandra on the cloud, on-premises, or hybrid. Its masterless topology and low-latency enable you to absorb traffic spikes or infrastructure outages without slowing down.

  • Survive Outages, Anywhere

    Cassandra's enterprise-level multi-datacenter replication delivers low-latency performance for all of your users everywhere in the world and peace of mind for you. Failed nodes are hot-swapped with no downtime, so your business never stalls.

  • Proven at Extreme Scale

    Battle-tested on thousands of nodes and hundreds of real-world applications, Cassandra's reliability isn't just a theory. Fault-injection, fuzz testing, and performance benchmarking demonstrate it to excel in the toughest conditions.

  • Performance Without Compromise

    Faster reads and writes than a majority of NoSQL options, Cassandra's design supports high-speed reads and writes. Use synchronous or asynchronous replication to suit your needs for performance and consistency.

  • Built-In Security and Insight

    Stay compliant and in command with audit logging, fine-grained access control, and workload replay tools. Cassandra offers insight into operations without blocking your applications.

  • No Single Point of Failure

    All nodes within a Cassandra cluster are equal - there are no single points of failure. Its distributed nature promises stability even when an entire data center goes down.

  • Scale Without Downtime

    Scale new nodes or datacenters without downtime. Cassandra's Zero Copy Streaming streams data between nodes up to 5x faster.

  • 1. What is Apache Cassandra?

    Apache Cassandra is a NoSQL distributed database. Unlike traditional relational (SQL) databases, it is lightweight, open-source, non-relational, and designed to work in distributed systems. It is extremely scalable and fault-tolerant.

  • 2. What is Apache Cassandra used for?

    Apache Cassandra is employed to manage huge, high-volume data that must be highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable. It's ideal for applications that cannot afford downtime and must grow seamlessly with expanding demand.

  • 3. Why use Cassandra instead of traditional SQL databases?

    Traditional SQL databases scale by throwing more CPU, RAM, or better disks, eventually hitting performance bottlenecks. Apache Cassandra, however, scales horizontally by simply adding more nodes. It makes Apache Cassandra especially well-suited for Big Data and cloud-scale applications.

  • 4. What does it mean that Cassandra is "distributed"?

    Cassandra runs on multiple nodes that communicate with each other through a peer-to-peer protocol called gossip. Together, they appear as one system. Its masterless architecture renders all nodes equally effective, without single points of failure, making Apache Cassandra solutions very resilient.
