Best Columnar Databases for eApps

The Apache Cassandra database provides high availability and scalability without compromising performance. It is the ideal platform for mission-critical data because it offers linear scalability and demonstrated fault-tolerance with commodity hardware and cloud infrastructure. Cassandra's ability to replicate across multiple datacenters is first-in-class. This provides lower latency for your users, and the peace-of-mind that you can withstand regional outages.
