Pentaho for Apache Cassandra and DataStax

Working together Pentaho and DataStax offer the first Cassandra-based big data analytics solution that combines the highly scalable, low-latency performance of Cassandra with Kettle’s visual interface for high-performance data extract, transformation and load, as well as integrated reporting, visualization and interactive analysis capabilities.  This makes it easier for developers and data scientists to operationalize, integrate and analyze both big data and traditional data sources.

Both Pentaho and DataStax also offer commercial open source products, which include valuable enhanced functionality, software maintenance, quality assurance, technical support, professional services and training.
