DataStax Attempts Security with NoSQL
February 13, 2013
DataStax, a company based on the Cassandra NoSQL database, has announced the release of DataStax Enterprise 3.0. The new platform is not just an upgrade; it is really an overhaul. Kristin Bent covers the release for CRN in the story, “DataStax Merges Enterprise Security, NoSQL In Big Data Platform.”
The article states:
“Big data applications vendor DataStax said this week it will start shipping its next-generation data management platform on Feb. 25, a release the company says melds the flexibility of NoSQL databases with enterprise-level security. The new platform, dubbed DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 3.0, is targeted at organizations looking to adopt NoSQL databases — a type of next-generation, non-relational database optimized for big data — without sacrificing the robust security features native to more traditional SQL databases, explained Robin Schumacher, vice president of products at DataStax.”
Most NoSQL solutions do not have built in security. But enterprises have grown used to advanced security features. DataStax hopes to bridge the gap by bringing enterprise security solutions to the NoSQL base. However, some may not trust the first version of such a blended solution. Many will still trust traditional enterprise search solutions built on trusted names, for instance, LucidWorks and its usage of Apache Lucene and Solr technologies.
