Leading brands strongly adopt DataStax open, multi-cloud data stack

KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 -- DataStax is seeing strong adoption of its open, multi-cloud data stack among leading brands as enterprises increasingly embrace DataStax’s offerings to build and run modern data apps.

On the heels of new funding from Goldman Sachs, the company announced that in recent months, it signed new or expanded contracts with leading enterprises across industries and across the globe, including CGi Global Technologies, Energisme and ESL Gaming.

DataStax chairman and chief executive officer, Chet Kapoor said: “Enterprises are drowning in data volume, complexity and escalating costs. We help them deliver an open data stack that is built for today’s modern apps that require massive scale, zero downtime, and sustainable TCO.”

The company’s recent highlights include launching Astra serverless, the industry’s first and only open, serverless, multi-cloud database-as-a-service and securing a new investment from Goldman Sachs.

Based on a statement, Astra builds on Apache Cassandra and introduces a modern, microservices-based architecture for ‘pay-as-you-go’ data consumption.

DataStax also joined forces with IBM to provide customers with a hybrid cloud solution that can be deployed on private or multiple public clouds for applications requiring open source Apache Cassandra-based technology.

“We’re excited with the ease of migration and the fact we won’t have to incur any downtime. Thanks to DataStax’s expertise in Cassandra, we will be able to easily migrate to Astra without inconveniencing our team or our customers,” said  ESL Gaming vice president, technology, Ben Burns.
