Traditional Relational Database Management systems were the main data stores for most of the business applications for over 20 years. Then in order to handle new data access patters new databases like Oracle, MySQL were introduced that had RDBMS roots. Currently, more change is required since applications must now scale up that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Not only scaling; companies require features like their applications are always available and lightning fast, and this is where RDBMS databases fail. This is where Cassandra is introduced. As for availability, Cassandra delivers a world where an application can lose an entire datacenter and still perform as if nothing happened. In this paper we propose a brief overview of Cassandra for people wondering whether Cassandra is right for them and also uniquely addresses the next phase of growth in the modern database marketplace.
