Webinars

This session follows the process of evaluating different big data platforms based on varying use cases and business requirements, explain how big data professionals can choose the right technology to transform their business, and how open source technology is helping close the skills shortage within the big data industry.

A brief intro to how Barracuda Networks uses Cassandra and the ways in which they are replacing their MySQL infrastructure, with Cassandra. This presentation will include the lessons they’ve learned along the way during this migration.

Using concrete, real-world examples, this webinar will show how abandoning modeling altogether is a recipe for disaster, how experienced relational modelers can leverage their skills for NoSQL projects, how the NoSQL context both simplifies and complicates the modeling endeavor, and how lessons learned modeling for NoSQL projects can make you a more effective modeler for any kind of project.

Learn how to satisfy your Security and Compliance office in this webinar offered by DataStax, the company that develops Apache Cassandra™, and Gazzang, provider of data security solutions for big data and cloud environments.

Sure you can do some time series modeling. Maybe some user profiles. What’s going to make you a super modeler? Let’s take a look at some great techniques taken from real world applications where we exploit the Cassandra big table model to it’s fullest advantage.

Who says that big data doesn’t need a data model? You won’t after this webinar. Relational systems have always been built on the premise of modeling relationships. As you will see, static schema, one-to-one, many-to-many still have a place in Cassandra. From the familiar, we’ll go into the specific differences in Cassandra and tricks to make your application fast and resilient.

He’ll also cover new features in Cassandra version 1.2 including virtual nodes, CQL 3 language and query tracing.

At Comcast Silicon Valley we have developed a general purpose message bus for the cloud. The service is API compatible with Amazon’s SQS/SNS and is built on Cassandra and Redis with the goal of linear horizontal scalability. In this Webinar we will explore the architecture of the system and how we employ Cassandra as a central component to meet key requirements. We will also take a look at the latest performance numbers.
