The new version of the leading NoSQL database delivers enhanced performance, stability, and auditing; Instaclustr is providing Cassandra 4.0 as a managed service across all major clouds
Instaclustr, delivering reliability at scale through its fully managed platform for open source data technologies, announced the general availability of Apache Cassandra 4.0 on its Managed Platform. Instaclustr offers Cassandra as its flagship NoSQL database solution, alongside complementary solutions that include Apache Kafka, the Open Distro for Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
Instaclustr offers all its data-layer technologies in their pure open source form, giving Instaclustr customers an advantageous, more flexible, and budget-friendly alternative to “open core” solutions that increase license costs and promote vendor lock-in. This open source commitment includes all the extensive tooling created by Instaclustr and offered for use with Cassandra, such as the LDAP authenticator plug-in.
