The Apache Cassandra database is the right choice when you need scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Linear scalability and proven fault-tolerance on commodity hardware or cloud infrastructure make it the perfect platform for mission-critical data. Cassandra's support for replicating across multiple datacenters is best-in-class, providing lower latency for your users and the peace of mind of knowing that you can survive regional outages.
Hypertable is an open source project based on published best practices and our own experience in solving large-scale data-intensive tasks. Our goal is nothing less than that Hypertable become the world's most massively parallel high performance database platform.
