What is the purpose and functionality of DataStax Enterprise? DataStax Enterprise is a data infrastructure that enables businesses to manage workloads in any cloud environment. It ensures compatibility with Cassandra, avoids cloud dependency, and allows for data sovereignty. It is built on the active-everywhere architecture of Apache Cassandra, providing 365-day availability. Additionally, it offers native Kubernetes support to simplify development, operations, and deployment. Notable features include robust APIs for developers (such as native JSON, REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs), enterprise-level security, monitoring, and support, and a cloud-native data platform. With DataStax Enterprise, users can store their data wherever needed without compromising performance, accessibility, or availability. Another valuable feature is CDC for Apache Cassandra, which facilitates real-time data flow to downstream systems like search, analytics, or other Cassandra clusters. Moreover, DataStax Enterprise can be deployed on any platform (on-premise, cloud, and K8s), without any lock-ins.
