High Performance with Open SourceApache Cassandra®  is the database of choice for global scale next-generation applications that require continuous availability, ultimate reliability and high performance. Instaclustr’s Managed Service for Apache Cassandra gets you up and running quickly and is the most reliable way for to run Cassandra for your application. We are so confident in the performance of our clusters that we include latency and performance guarantees in our contracted SLAs.Certified Security with SOC 2 and PCI-DSSInstaclustr is the first managed Apache Cassandra service provider independently certified as meeting the SOC 2 standards.  This is the standard of choice when it comes to assessing the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system.In addition, Instaclustr’s managed Apache Cassandra service is PCI-DSS when running in AWS. PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standard) is a mandated standard for many financial applications and we increasingly see the PCI-DSS controls adopted as the “gold standard” in other industries where the highest standards of security are crucial. 24/7 Dedicated Expert SupportOur Cassandra as a service experts have your back 24/7, monitoring the performance of your cluster, ensuring you can focus on the most important aspects of your business.   We have a dedicated team of technical operations experts that continue to maintain, monitor and manage your clusters at all timesGet in touchAn Integrated Data LayerFully managed Apache Cassandra® database clusters, integrated with other core data layer open source technologies.
