Why Legacy Databases Won’t Work

The Architect’s Database Platform for Cloud Applications

#1: Performance and Scalability

Scale Up: Most
RDBMS’s and Some
NoSQL
Scale Out: Some
NoSQL, but…
Ask the question: Can you scale out BOTH writes and reads?
Two Approaches

100,000
Txns/sec
200,000
Txns/sec
400,000
Txns/sec

Data Locality =
Consistent Performance

• Six billion writes; 5 billion reads per day on DSE
• 100’s of TB’s of operational data on DSE
• Multi-data center
• One app utilizes a 40TB operational table

“We started with Postgres on Heroku. However, we hit issues early on because we would, for example, add a
million new users with each new app, and no matter how much we’d tune Postgres, it simply couldn’t scale to
the level we needed. To be honest, it was quite a nightmare.
With our solution, adding a new app can mean adding two million more users in the next hour, and we
realized an RDBMS was simply not going to work for us. We had no way of being able to predict and ensure
the performance we needed.” – RatnamTatavarty, CTO.

The Benefits of a Masterless Architecture
Master/Slave
(RDBMS or NoSQL)
Masterless
Single points of failure No single points of failure
Master-slave replication Fully distributed replication
Moderately hard replication management Easy replication management
Multi-geography hard or impossible Multi-geography + cloud easy
Location dependent for writes Location Independent for writes
Failover Active everywhere
High availability Continuous availability

Continuous Availability

“During Hurricane Sandy, we lost an entire data center. Completely. Lost. It. Our data in Cassandra never went offline.
Then, when that data center came back online, we spent a lot of time manually rebuilding other databases that we use,
shipping drives across country and what not, but for Cassandra, all we did was turn it back on in that data center and
ran a single command, and it brought itself back up to speed with no other manual work.” – Nathan Milford, Outbrain.

• Multi-cluster replication, hub-and-spoke. Supports sporadic connectivity.
• Allows one-way replication from “edge” cluster to another, centralized hub
cluster.
• Ideal for retail, energy, “edge of the internet of things”, and data sovereignty
use cases.
New in DSE 5.0 – Advanced Replication

Enterprise Security Must-Have’s
Standard ID/Password management
Third party security software support
Object permission management
Data auditing (granular)
Encryption (client to server, server to server, data – direct and
indirect)

“We’re dealing with multiple levels of compliancy, industry standards and auditing with medical
data, so the security in DSE was important to us. ” – John Fitch, VP Innovations, Hart.

Security Enhancements in DSE 5.0
• Encryption for Cassandra and DSE Search commit logs and index files.
• Role based access control.
• Unified Authentication: Allows multiple security authentication protocols
(e.g. Kerberos, LDAP, Active Directory, internal Cassandra) to be used on the
same database cluster.

Headache and Heartache

Simplifying Distributed Database Management
• Certified Software: No surprises for production environments.
• DSE Management Services: Transparently handles key maintenance
operations without staff intervention.
• DSE OpsCenter: Web-based distributed database management and
monitoring software.

“DataStax OpsCenter made it really, really easy for our level 2 support team to get a quick
glance at overall system health and pull in devs as needed to help correct any issues.” –
Target

Manageability Enhancements in DSE 5.0
• DSE Tiered Storage: Transparently shifts
older, infrequently accessed data from
high performance SSDs to slower more
economically-friendly HDDs based on
your criteria.
• DSE Multi-Instance: Run multiple DSE
instances (database processes) on
individual hosts without the need for a
virtualization or container layer.

Manageability Enhancements in OpsCenter 6.0
• Lifecycle Manager: Enterprise-class provisioning and change management
for distributed database clusters.

Which Data Model Do I use?

• Scale-out graph database for cloud
applications that need to manage complex
and highly connected data.
• Supports graph model natively inside DSE,
engineered specifically for Cassandra.
• Built-in support for real-time search, and
analytic graph queries via tight integration
with DSE.
• Part of DSE’s multi-model platform.
DSE Graph – Scale Out Power for Graph

• Web-based developer solution.
• Helps developers visually interact with and query DSE Graph databases.
• Will eventually support CQL, DSE Search, and DSE Analytics developer
needs.
