SOLUTION BRIEF OPTIMIZING APACHE CASSANDRA™ AT SCALE Optimizing Apache ™ Cassandra at Scale The Solution for Cassandra at Scale HGST has a long history of producing the largest and most reliable hard disk drives (HDDs) in the world. Couple those hard drives with the broad SanDisk-brand portfolio of flash storage technologies and you get a solution that enables Cassandra architects to achieve optimal Cassandra clusters. While modern multi-core servers allow parallel execution of multiple threads, Cassandra was not originally written to fully exploit them, which often leaves cores idling, waiting for data from storage. Ultimately, the low utilization causes server sprawl and wasteful spending of IT budgets. About Apache Cassandra Avoiding Cassandra Server Apache Cassandra™ database Cassandra is an open source Sprawl for Capacity at scale can use both the cost- NoSQL database written in Java and As described above, there are basically effective capacity of HGST-brand specifically optimized to be scalable, two reasons to add servers to a cluster: Ultrastar® helium hard drives and decentralized, fault tolerant, and, above to expand capacity or to increase the density and performance all, performant. It is used at some of the performance. Let’s examine how capabilities of SanDisk® solid- web’s largest properties and throughout HGST-brand Ultrastar® helium hard
