Progress DataDirect for Apache Cassandra addresses increase in
enterprise adoption for Apache Cassandra that requires robust relational
connectivity and instant compatibility with data management and
integration applications
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced the release of Progress®
DataDirect® for Apache Cassandra, a new series of connectors
in its DataDirect enterprise data connectivity suite. Leveraging
industry-accepted SQL-based ODBC and JDBC standards with patented
normalization technology, DataDirect for Apache Cassandra makes the
Cassandra NoSQL database instantly compatible with customers' existing
applications. This driver further delivers industry-leading features
compatible with the new ODBC 4.0 specification, and adds to an already
robust portfolio of connectors to better enable integration and support
for over 200 of the most popular data sources and interfaces.
The DataDirect solution enables enterprise IT architects to map
Cassandra data, including collections, into their relational
counterpart: well-structured, child tables that relate to a primary
parent table. DataDirect Cassandra ODBC and JDBC connectivity leads the
market in providing this powerful capability, and Progress has been
awarded U.S. Patent 9,471,654 relating to this capability. Progress is
the worldwide leader in reliable NoSQL connectivity, and is the first in
the industry to introduce this concept of normalization on NoSQL data
models for business intelligence (BI) and analytics.
"Leading organizations are turning to Cassandra to meet the performance,
scalability and availability that today's internet-scale solutions
demand," said Dion Picco, General Manager, Data Connectivity &
Integration, Progress. "By exposing its data as normalized relational
tables, the Progress DataDirect solution enables enterprises to use an
industry-standard, SQL-based solution with ODBC and JDBC connectivity to
more easily integrate Cassandra with their existing data management
infrastructure. For real-time analytics on Apache Cassandra,
organizations are adopting our Spark SQL connector giving us complete
connectivity for the Cassandra analytics ecosystem."
In addition, the new DataDirect connector:
-
Delivers Apache Cassandra compatibility, verified through more than 85
million verification tests
-
Comes optimized for performance, ensuring maximum throughput when
