Scale-out, cloud-native NoSQL database built on Apache Cassandra and designed for hybrid cloud, enterprise deployment

Enjoy the benefits of open-source software and the peace of mind of having direct access to engineers and C* committers with mission-critical deployment experience.

Feature 

• **Operational reliability: **DataStax Enterprise delivers enterprise-grade security, monitoring and support. The advanced encryption helps protect data both at rest and in flight. Visual management and monitoring help you more easily provision, upgrade, monitor, backup and restore, and manage your DataStax Enterprise cluster. Advanced performance capabilities can reduce infrastructure requirements and improve the responsiveness of real-time applications
• **Developer friendly: **Boost productivity using powerful and productive APIs. DataStax Enterprise offers blazing performance, enhanced security and built-in support for Kubernetes so you can deploy on premises, on the cloud or in a hybrid cloud environment. The DataStax visual developer tool lets you collaborate, query, visualize, profile and manipulate data. The unified data model provides a centralized view, APIs to import and access data, and built-in analytics.
• **Cloud-native support: **Now available on IBM Cloud Pak for Data, DataStax Enterprise’s native Kubernetes support helps tame the complexity of development, operations and deployment. Kubernetes and Cassandra combine to provide a cloud-native data platform with distributed scale-out capabilities for hybrid cloud or on-premise environments. Query multiple models, including key value, column, graph and document without sacrificing performance or scalability.
• **Data API for productivity: **DataStax Enterprise and Apache Cassandra work with Stargate, an open-source data API layer. Every database you create automatically has GraphQL, REST, Document (schemaless JSON) and gRPC endpoints.
• **CDC for Apache Cassandra: **Change data capture (CDC) for Cassandra automatically captures changes in real time, deduplicates them and streams the clean set of changed data into Pulsar, where it can be processed by client applications or sent to downstream systems.

Benefits

• **High availability: **The database is built on Apache Cassandra and designed for 24×7 availability.
• **Zero lock-in: **Open-source Cassandra helps you avoid cloud lock-in and retain compatibility.
• **Hyper scalable: **Keep your data wherever you need for better availability and accessibility.
• **Enterprise ready: **Get enterprise-grade security, monitoring and support — trusted by the Fortune 100.
• **Multimodel workloads: **Integrated with Graph, Search and Analytics — access with mixed workloads or patterns.
• **Better productivity: **Build apps for distributed data sources with DataStax Enterprise tools, drivers, Kafka, Docker and more.
