Partnership demonstrates Cassandra as rising data source
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced that it has partnered with DataStax,
the company that delivers Apache Cassandra™ to the enterprise, to
provide customers with enterprise-ready data connectivity and
integration solutions for Cassandra. Cassandra is an open source
distributed NoSQL database management system that is increasingly
popular among developers looking to manage large amounts of data across
many commodity servers with no single point of failure. The Cassandra
database offers robust support for clusters spanning multiple data
centers while allowing for low latency operations.
The partnership comes as a result of increased demand from both Progress
DataDirect and DataStax customers for a standards-based solution
that allows Cassandra to integrate with existing IT processes and
systems, including BI, analytics and ETL. This shortens the integration
time, reduces the development effort, and allows for reuse of existing
skills, particularly with the database teams that use traditional
relational databases such as Oracle and SQL Server.
The Progress® DataDirect® for Cassandra driver, currently in beta, is
architected to normalize data while delivering the highest performance
available. Other market solutions take the approach of flattening the
data, an architectural shortcut that complicates BI and can result in
data loss. With the DataDirect driver, data is appropriately mapped
between SQL and NoSQL with zero data loss. And because users of
Cassandra are often dealing with massive volumes of data, the Progress
DataDirect driver performance advantage ensures it can be processed with
the velocity demanded by systems that operate at cloud-scale.
Executive Quotes:
Michael Benedict, president, data connectivity and integration,
Progress, said: "The Progress DataDirect partnership with DataStax
demonstrates growing need for Cassandra support in the enterprise. As
the data landscape grows, companies will see a need for a solution that
can process high-volume, high velocity data capture and analysis.
Cassandra fills that void, and the DataDirect for Cassandra driver
serves as the connector between data and actionable insights."
Matt Rollender, vice president, infrastructure and ecosystem development
at DataStax, said: "We are privileged to have an active and highly
innovative partner network at DataStax. Progress helps provide IT
managers with data connectivity and integration solutions for Apache
Cassandra."
