Features

Cassandra's hybrid and masterless architecture combined with its low latency provides a robust database that can withstand a complete data center outage without any data loss. This feature holds whether the system is deployed across public or private clouds or on-premises, ensuring top-notch reliability under any circumstance.

Additionally, Cassandra is renowned for its scalability. As new machines are integrated into the system, there is a linear increase in both read and write throughput. All these happen without causing downtime or interruption to applications, further solidifying Cassandra as an adept solution for businesses that prioritize continuous operations.
