DataStax Builds on Open Cloud Trend at O’Reilly Strata Conference

It’s all about open cloud and data at the O’Reilly Strata Conference, and DataStax is grabbing this opportunity to introduce their lastest and greatest–the DataStax OpsCenter for Apache Cassandra. Sounds like another ambitious launch, but this one’s making a feat: DataStax OpsCenter will be the first platform for managing, monitoring and operating enterprise Cassandra applications.

Matt Pfeil, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of DataStax noted the demand that triggered the inception of DataStax OpsCenter. He said, “Cassandra has quickly evolved as a key infrastructure component for the next generation of scalable applications and services. Our customers are finding that anywhere that scale of data and real-time responsiveness are a challenge, Cassandra is proving to be the answer.”

The primary benefit that this product will bring to customers is that it will help them build, deploy and operate scalable and cloud-optimized applications and data services utterly flexible. Furthermore, Cassandra users will be able to take advantage of the advanced operations environment that tags along expert support for real-time, large volume and application that have weak latency powered by Cassandra. It also promises to provide refined visualization of the customer’s cluster as well as streamlined management and configuration.

Apache Cassandra Project is responsible for enhancing vastly scalable second gen distributed database. There are various companies that get themselves involved with Apache. Recently, search engine biggie Yahoo! dropped its own Hadoop distribution and realigned their focus onto Apache Hadoop. Another company that touched base with Hadoop at the Strata Conference, which is being covered live in every angle by SiliconAngle, is Pervasive Software. Known as cloud innovator, Pervasive took the chance to discuss the open cloud business solutions that they can offer and introduced DataRush 5.0.
