| <h2>Welcome to Apache Cassandra</h2> |
| <p> |
| The Apache Cassandra database is the right choice when you need scalability and high availability without compromising performance. <a href="http://techblog.netflix.com/2011/11/benchmarking-cassandra-scalability-on.html">Linear scalability</a> and proven fault-tolerance on commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it the perfect platform for mission-critical data. Cassandra's support for replicating across multiple datacenters is best-in-class, providing lower latency for your users and the peace of mind of knowing that you can survive regional outages. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Cassandra's data model offers the convenience of <a href="http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/ddl/indexes">column indexes</a> with the performance of log-structured updates, strong support for <a href="http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/ddl/table#collection-columns">denormalization</a> and <a href="http://maxgrinev.com/2010/07/12/do-you-really-need-sql-to-do-it-all-in-cassandra/">materialized views</a>, and powerful built-in caching. |

| <b>Proven</b> |
| <p> |
| Cassandra is in use at |
| <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/adrianco/migrating-netflix-from-oracle-to-global-cassandra">Netflix</a>, |
| <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/jaykumarpatel/cassandra-at-ebay-13920376">eBay</a>, |

| <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/daveconnors/cassandra-puppet-scaling-data-at-15-per-month">Constant Contact</a>, |
| <a href="http://blog.reddit.com/2010/03/she-who-entangles-men.html">Reddit</a>, |
| Cisco, OpenX, Digg, CloudKick, Ooyala, and <a href="http://www.datastax.com/cassandrausers">more companies</a> that have large, active data sets. The largest known Cassandra cluster has over 300 TB of data in over 400 machines. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Fault Tolerant</b> |
| <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> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="span-8"> |
| <ul class="biglist"> |
| <li><b>Performant</b> |
| <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> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Decentralized</b> |
| <p> |
| There are no single points of failure. There are no network bottlenecks. Every node in the cluster is identical. |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Durable</b> |
| <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> |
| </li> |
| </div> |
| <div class="span-8 last"> |
| <ul class="biglist"> |
| <li> |
| <b>You're in Control</b> |
| <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> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <b>Elastic</b> |
| <p> |
| Read and write throughput both increase linearly as new machines are added, with no downtime or interruption to applications. |

| <b>Professionally Supported</b> |
| <p>Cassandra support contracts and services are available from <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ThirdPartySupport">third parties</a>. |
