Performance and scalability

Cassandra is proven to scale to handle low latency high throughput workloads, from small clusters all the way through to servicing the needs of hyperscale companies with billions of customers.

With NetApp Instaclustr, you can easily take advantage of this to scale the capacity of your cluster up as you grow, or to handle bursting workloads.

And remember, scaling goes both ways: we’ve helped customers scale down to reduce costs.

Reliability

Apache Cassandra is built from the ground up to meet mission critical reliability requirements.

The NetApp Instaclustr team of Cassandra experts monitors your cluster 24 x7 to deliver by our industry best latency availability SLAs. We’re also here to assist your incident resolution with response SLAs designed to support the most critical of applications.

Optimized configuration

Our Cassandra configurations are tuned for reliability, performance, and are security-based leveraging years of experience operating tens of millions of node hours for customers in every sector.

Continuous backups can be enabled to significantly reduce disaster recovery RPO.

We offer optimal instance types and configurations on each cloud. Clusters can be provisioned using our console, API or Terraform provider.

Automated health checks

Cassandra performs best when you use it intelligently.

Our system monitors your Cassandra cluster and our 24x 7 team of dedicated Cassandra operators are alerted whenever action or investigation is necessary.

Monitoring and health data to help you manage your usage is available through the Instaclustr console and monitoring APIs (including Prometheus support).
