zData Confirms DSE 6 Outperforms Open Source Cassandra

DataStax Enterprise 6 (DSE 6) has been confirmed by an independent source, zData, to significantly improve performance compared to open source Cassandra. The addition of DSE Advanced Performance in DSE 6 includes optimizations and tools designed to increase throughput, reduce latency, and enhance data loading and unloading speeds. In a benchmark test using an IoT-patterned workload on an AWS cluster, zData found that DSE 6 achieved a 3x performance boost with a 10x reduction in latency, surpassing the internal goal of a 2x speedup in throughput. This demonstrates the potential benefits of running DSE over open source and other Cassandra-styled projects for enterprises seeking to avoid application slowdowns and maintain customer satisfaction.
