Datagres Partnerings With DataStax

Highlights:

• Industry’s first Apache Cassandra tiered storage for DataStax Enterprise, combining advantages of PCIe/NVMe, Flash/SSD and HDD
• Intelligent Cassandra I/O optimizations to provide best price-performance ratio, purpose-built for demanding workloads
• 3x cost reduction with on-premise or in-cloud infrastructure with Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, at same or better performance
  

Datagres Technologies, Inc., a provider of application I/O intelligence, announced availability of its PerfAccel solution for DataStax Enterprise (DSE), the database platform purpose-built for the performance and availability demands of web, mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, allowing enterprises to achieve higher scalability at lower cost without compromising on performance.

As a member of the DataStax Partner Network, Datagres is able to use DataStax to power online applications that must remain in an ‘always-on’ state across a broad range of environments.

“Enterprises are starting to adopt and scale their implementation of DataStax Enterprise across many verticals,” said Narayan Sundareswaran, VP business development, technology, ecosystems and infrastructure, DataStax development. “Datagres PerfAccel addresses Apache Cassandra I/O Performance requirements with its innovative dynamic tiered storage, achieving tremendous scale without the need for expensive and over-provisioned hardware.“

“With the ever-increasing rate of data growth, there is a distinct need for solutions that perform and scale, and do so economically,” said Ranajit Nevatia, president and CEO, Datagres. “The Datagres PerfAccel solution – integrated with DSE – allows for building a highly optimized and scalable solution resulting in 50 – 80% infrastructure cost reduction.“

Increase Performance, Reduce Cost
PerfAccel is a tiered storage solution for Cassandra that provides the lowest latency and highest throughput for demanding workloads, cost-effectively.

PerfAccel 2.0 for DataStax Enterprise provides:

• Cassandra I/O analytics that help define optimum storage placement and database design decisions
• Lower latency – higher throughput – bigger scale for large enterprise deployment
• Advantages of PCIe/NVMe, Flash/SSD and HDD all in the same server
• Less hardware using PerfAccel resulting in reduced infrastructure cost
• Software only solution that runs wherever Cassandra runs – physical, virtual, on-premise, in the cloud, whether deployed in virtualized or containerized environments
• Optimizations leveraging existing server and storage hardware or with new hardware
