DataStax Enterprise employs Apache Cassandra, a wide-column NoSQL database that helps enterprises meet the challenges of today’s large, high-velocity datasets. The wide-column design of Apache Cassandra also gives it the ability to service other NoSQL data-model types, such as key-value store and document store.

As a scale-out data-management platform, DataStax Enterprise provides the high-performance and high-availability capabilities of Apache Cassandra with enterprise-grade deployment, security, and management tools. The decentralized, peer-to-peer architecture of DataStax Enterprise also lends itself well to distributed applications and linear scalability for large datasets.

Because DataStax Enterprise was designed for high performance, high availability, and high-velocity data, its use has grown across a number of vertical markets. Companies within healthcare, entertainment, retail, travel, finance, and banking all rely on DataStax Enterprise to provide real-time insights, fast response times, and security for their customers and employees.
