| <h4>Fault tolerant</h4> |
| <p> |
| Data is automatically replicated to multiple nodes for fault-tolerance. Replication across multiple data centers |
| is supported. Failed nodes can be replaced with no downtime. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2 feature-item"> |
| <h4>Performant</h4> |
| <p> |
| Cassandra <a href="http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol5/p1724_tilmannrabl_vldb2012.pdf">consistently</a> |
| <a href="http://www.datastax.com/resources/whitepapers/benchmarking-top-nosql-databases">outperforms</a> popular |
| NoSQL alternatives in benchmarks and <a href="http://blog.markedup.com/2013/02/cassandra-hive-and-hadoop-how-we-picked-our-analytics-stack/">real applications</a>, |
| primarily because of <a href="http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/2012-in-review-performance">fundamental architectural choices</a>. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2 feature-item"> |
| <h4>Decentralized</h4> |
| <p> |
| There are no single points of failure. There are no network bottlenecks. Every node in the cluster is |
| identical. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3 feature-item"> |
| <h4>Scalable</h4> |
| <p> |
| Some of the largest production deployments include Apple's, with over 75,000 nodes storing over 10 PB of data, |
| Netflix (2,500 nodes, 420 TB, over 1 trillion requests per day), Chinese search engine Easou (270 nodes, 300 TB, |
| over 800 million requests per day), and eBay (over 100 nodes, 250 TB). |

| <h4>Durable</h4> |
| <p> |
| Cassandra is <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Durability">suitable for applications that can't afford to lose data</a>, |
| even when an entire data center goes down. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3 feature-item"> |
| <h4>You're in control</h4> |
| <p> |
| Choose between synchronous or asynchronous replication for each update. Highly available asynchronous operations are |
| optimized with features like <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/HintedHandoff">Hinted Handoff</a> and |
| <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ReadRepair">Read Repair</a>.</p> |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3 feature-item"> |
| <h4>Elastic</h4> |
| <p> |
| Read and write throughput both increase linearly as new machines are added, with no downtime or interruption |
| to applications. |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3 feature-item"> |
| <h4>Professionally Supported</h4> |
| <p> |
| Cassandra support contracts and services are available from <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ThirdPartySupport">third parties</a>. |
