What is Big Data’s payoff?
DataStax: CRN’s “10 Coolest Big Data Startups”
Cassandra: InfoWorld’s Technology of the Year

1,000+ production deployments and 300 customers
$84M in funding from industry-leading investors
We are the first viable alternative to
Oracle for modern online
applications.

We seek to be the first and best
choice in databases.
No, Seriously…
Real-world Use Cases
Internet of Things Database Requirements
• “UTC subject predicate”: Time series data and metadata are the lingua franca of
sensors/device data communications
• FAST AND ALWAYS ON: High-velocity ingest rates from geographically dispersed inputs
with variable schemas/data models is the norm—and unless you tell them to do so, sensors
never, ever sleep…
• HOT AND COLD: Real-time data and analytics vs. data reservoir/data factory needs vary.

• DHTs: Wide-row column-oriented distributed hash tables are the optimal home for IoT
operational datastores
• AND: Other key functionality needed includes indexed search, along with both batch and realtime analytics—with data-in-flight and data-at-rest security an emerging need
• SPOILER ALERT: DataStax Enterprise supports all of the above

Our Vision

DataStax is driving
Cassandra to be the first
viable alternative to the
Oracle database for
companies who are
transforming the way they
interact with customers.

Getting ahead of exploding growth
Sign big, new contracts all the time (ESPN)
• 200M unique users per month
• 40TB of data
•

Flexible architecture
•

“Couldn’t shoehorn RDBMS technology”

Very small operations team
3 people
• 20 clusters
• 100’s of nodes
•
Why We Exist

Today’s applications must be
always available and lightning
fast as they scale to previously
unimaginable levels.
Cassandra delivers both with a
beautifully simple and elegant
architecture.

“We need a real-time, massively
scalable architecture, where no
one node is a single point of
failure, that can easily span
multiple data centers and cloud
availability zones, and that’s
Cassandra.”
What We Do Best

Cassandra was designed to do
things that are impossible in
other databases when it comes
to availability and
performance. Forget about
losing a machine here or there -Cassandra delivers a world
where you can lose an entire
datacenter and still perform as
your customers expect.

“We have to be ready for disaster
recovery all the time. It’s really
great that Cassandra allows for
active-active multiple data centers
where we can read and write
anywhere”
Jay Patel
Technical Architect at eBay
(Describing why they switched from legacy
relational architecture)

and from a database
cluster

+ Provides granular based
control over who can

data

+ Ensures data cannot be
captured/stolen in route
to a server

+ Uses familiar
GRANT/REVOKE from
relational systems
+ No learning curve

+ Data is safe both in
flight from/to a
database and on the
database; complete

accesses and changes

+ Uses most trusted
external security
packages (Kerberos,
LDAP), mainstays in
government and
finance

+ No changes needed at
application level
