Apache Cassandra™

The de facto standard database for low latency, scale, throughput and resilience

Why choose Apache Cassandra?

Apache Cassandra is the most popular distributed database when it comes to scale, resiliency and performance. Cassandra is ideal for businesses with high data volumes that have to be dealt with quickly, reliably and at scale.

Performance

Cassandra can service your reads and writes with millisecond latency. It can be scaled up to improve performance in a near linear fashion.

Scale

With linear and horizontal scale, Cassandra clusters can be easily scaled up and down as demand dictates with zero downtime.

Availability

Cassandra can tolerate the loss of servers, racks, networks and data centres and keep serving requests. If you need a platform with zero downtime, Cassandra is one of the best databases you can choose.

Fully Managed Apache Cassandra Service

Apache Cassandra is a database that has been designed from the ground up to provide high availability and scalability yet still provide impressive performance. Its linear scalability and tolerance to infrastructure failure is a key reason why it is one of the most popular NoSQL databases for mission-critical systems where 100% uptime is required. Its architecture and design means it consistently outperforms other NoSQL databases.

DIGITALIS CASSANDRA USE CASES

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES

Making financial data available for mobile and web consumers in real-time and 24×7 is becoming the digital standard in banking and financial systems, such as mobile banking and Open Banking API. Cassandra is the perfect tool for providing a highly available and secure database. Digitalis supports banking and financial services enterprises in adopting Cassandra to provide a secure, always on, multi-DC and performant DB to faciliate their ever increasing data demands.

IOT

Aircrafts and jet engines, vehicles, farming, smart cities, retail outlets, connected homes, logistics, utilities, factories – all generate unprecedented volumes of telemetry data that have to be captured for processing and analysis. Cassandra can ingest and store enormous amounts of data with fantastic performance and availability. Digitalis helps IoT companies implement and manage Cassandra to meet their data demands and provide an always-on and highly performant database.

ADVERTISING, RECCOMENDATIONS AND ANALYTICS

Cassandra is a fantastic choice of database for advertising, reccomendations and analytics use cases. With significant volumes of data to be ingested and analysed, downtime and performance issues can have a significant financial impact on businesses in this space. Digitalis experts can help enterprises adopt and leverage this technology – providing a highly performant database with no downtime.

SECURITY AND FRAUD DETECTION

Complexity of digital crime is only increasing and it devastates individual victims of fraud as well as causing reputational damage and huge financial impact to enterprises. Apache Cassandra can cope with the enormous amount of data that has to be ingested, stored and queried to enable security systems to react in real time and understand what happened. Digitalis experts works with our customers to implement security solutions using Apache Cassandra.

E-COMMERCE

Cassandra powers many online stores, presenting products and recommendations based on each user’s profile that has been assembled by analysing previous purchases and website interactions. Cassandra can capture activities and present highly personalised products and recommendations to the users online in the time it takes to load a webpage. Digitalis knows how to tune and deploy Cassandra so that these interactions can be captured, analysed and presented to users.

MESSAGING AND NOTIFICATIONS

Apache Cassandra underpins some of largest messaging and notification platforms in the world. Technology companies like Apple, Netflix and Uber use Cassandra to allow them to interact with their users and their users to interact with each other. Digitalis has experience with messaging solutions using Cassandra across multiple sectors including banking, social media, and many other industries.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Storing messages, posts, and sharing activity from a large volume of users in real time is a challenge for most databases. Making that data and insights immediately available to other users poses massive challenges. Cassandra is frequently the database of choice for social media use cases and Digitalis has extensive experience in helping social media companies leverage this technology.

ENTERTAINMENT

Due to its highly available nature, multi-region/datacenter deployment and performance Cassandra is the standard database of choice for many online entertainment services such as gaming and media streaming.

I wish to thank you again for helping us with our Cassandra upgrade. As you know, Cassandra is a critical database for us as it serves as the main backbone for our TimeSeries processing. We needed to upgrade several versions sequentially, including major version and SSTable upgrade. The upgrade was implemented in all our clusters and regions and went smoothly despite the automation complexity.I felt confident with the quality of your automation and was very pleased with the level of assistance. I really enjoy working with you guys and I hope we will work together again soon.
