Evaluating Apache Cassandra as a Cloud Database
White Paper

Abstract
Within the next couple of years, the amount of information stored “in the cloud” is expected to grow by large amounts, but some IT professionals remain standoffish toward the idea of porting a company’s data onto a public cloud for lack perceived tangible benefits. When evaluating a move of any amount of data to a cloud database, today’s IT decision-makers need to understand whether the solution they’re considering is designed and/or implemented to maximize the promises of cloud computing. This paper examines key characteristics and discusses how Apache CassandraTM stacks up from an evaluation perspective.
