December 17, 2013
The article titled DataStax Tests Enterprise-Grade Cassandra Database on Google Compute Engine on Yahoo Finance discusses the recent collaboration between Google and Datastax engineers. The results of the test were positive, with expected response times, operational constancy and strong disk I/O functioning under load.
The article explains the tests of Datastax Enterprise with Google Compute Engine:
“which recently became generally available to all developers. The combination of DataStax Enterprise and Google Compute Engine allows companies to deploy their critical applications on the Google Cloud Platform and grow their data to incredible levels while making sure they remain online at all times. DataStax and Google engineers collaborated to test and validate the scalability, reliability and performance of mission-critical online applications that are built on DataStax Enterprise with Google Compute Engine.”
Datastax boasts over 300 customers for its work powering big data apps. These include Adobe, eBay and Netflix. This collaboration with Google is planned to ease the use of Datastax in the cloud. Senior vice-president David Kloc of Datastax voiced his confidence in the new relationship, calling the platform “more reliable than ever before.” He has no reason to be humble, the NoSQL database that Datastax sells works securely with Apache Cassandra, enterprise search and visual management.
