DataStax

Top Executive: CEO Billy Bosworth

DataStax markets a commercial version of Apache Cassandra, the open-source NoSQL database designed to manage huge volumes of data across multiple data centers and the cloud, as well as providing a line of supporting administration, management, development and analysis tools.

In April DataStax began shipping DataStax Enterprise 5.1, along with DataStax OpsCenter 6.1 and DataStax Studio 2.0. The company said DSE 5.1 provides operational analytics performance that's three times faster than an open-source Apache Cassandra and Spark combination. It also offers simplified management for multi-tenant SaaS applications.

Based in Santa Clara, Calif., DataStax was founded in 2010.
