About Apache Cassandra

Apache Cassandra is an open source distributed database management system. It is an Apache Software Foundation top-level project designed to handle very large amounts of data spread out across many commodity servers while providing a highly available service with no single point of failure.

Cassandra evolved from work at Google, Amazon and Facebook, and is in use at leading companies such as Twitter, Netflix, Rackspace and Cisco.
