Persistent Systems, an engineering partner to DataStax, enables enterprises to modernize and accelerate innovation while dramatically improving TCO and complexity caused by data infrastructure sprawl. To accelerate adoption and mitigate risks, Persistent has developed automated tools for migration from legacy databases to Apache Cassandra™. DataStax Astra is a multi-cloud DBaaS, and DataStax Enterprise is a cloud-native NoSQL database for modern data apps; both are built on Apache Cassandra, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100 and the best of the internet including Netflix, eBay, and Uber.
The migration journey includes automated discovery and query identification, initiation of NoSQL instances, creation of tables, data migration, and verification. This is complemented with human intervention as needed. With the target environment in place, Persistent will develop the application for a cloud-native environment with a microservices architecture. This delivers the benefits of a distributed, scale-out, real-time, modular database.
Persistent Systems’ 360-degree relationship with DataStax enables organizations to accelerate application modernization by adopting enterprise-ready, multi-cloud NoSQL solutions.
