Cassandra

Open Source NoSQL Distributed Database

Cassandra is a distributed database that handles large amounts of user traffic by storing unstructured data across multiple nodes. With its ability to add nodes without cluster downtime, it is optimized for managing large datasets that requires scalability and high availability. Users can easily install and use Cassandra using a web-based console on Samsung Cloud Platform.

Overview

  • Distributed Database

    With Cassandra, users can store clusters across multiple nodes. Cassandra nodes configured with a ring do not have a master node and each node handles incoming requests, parallel processing of large data sets is accelerated.

  • Elastic Scalability

    Cassandra uses linear scaling where requests are distributed by adding more nodes to increase cluster processing power, rather than vertical scaling, which adds more hardware. Users can scale up or down nodes without cluster reconfiguration and transaction processing capability increases in proportion to the number of nodes added.

  • High Availability

    With Cassandra, users can achieve high availability by referring to the user guide.
    Each node of Cassandra uses the gossip protocol to send data randomly and when a node fails, users can replace the faulty node without system disruption.

  • Easy DB Configuration

    Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) OS, users can immediately install DB on Samsung Cloud Platform and utilize the monitoring and billing features.
    The installed DBMS will automatically make configurations and manage DB based on the user environment.
