Datastax Announces Next Enterprise Version
January 24, 2013
Datastax, a company built around the Cassandra NoSQL database, is releasing Datastax Enterprise 3.0. SysCon Media offers the full release announcement in, “DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 3.0 Offers Most Comprehensive Security Feature Set Among All NoSQL Providers; Enables Enterprises to Adopt NoSQL Databases While Safely Scaling Their Big Data Infrastructure.”
The article begins:
“DataStax, the company that powers the big data apps that transform business, today announced the early adopter program (EAP) launch of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 3.0. The new version provides core security capabilities to the entire Cassandra community, as well as the advanced data protection that businesses expect in an enterprise-grade database. DSE 3.0 supplies the type of security framework that allows modern enterprises to confidently adopt NoSQL databases as they safely scale their big data infrastructure.”
Datastax makes a good product, but it is by no means the only option for managing Big Data in the enterprise. And as far as security is concerned, other software solutions do a good job as well. One option that combines security with Big Data usability is LucidWorks and their LucidWorks Big Data product. LucidWorks is built on Apache Lucene, so it is a completely different animal, but the reviews are good and everyone agrees it is a dependable option for getting the most out of your Big Data.
