DATASTAX ASTRA AVAILABLE IN MICROSOFT AZURE MARKETPLACE

KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 (Bernama) -- DataStax recently announced the availability of DataStax Astra, the industry’s first serverless Database-as-a-Service for Apache Cassandra™ running in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

Based on a statement, enterprises can now access Astra through Microsoft's online store to quickly take advantage of Astra's global scale and zero downtime on the trusted Azure cloud platform.

With its serverless architecture, Astra is poised to transform the database industry by delivering an unprecedented combination of pay-as-you-go pricing together with the freedom and agility of multi-cloud and open source.

The cost optimisation and operational benefits of Astra serverless can ‘bend the curve’ of escalating data costs, delivering total cost of ownership savings of up to 76 per cent over non-serverless database workloads, according to a recent study by GigaOm.

“Astra on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace is a natural step in this journey as we help all enterprises fuel their digital transformation with a cloud-first strategy and realise ‘true’ cloud economics,” said DataStax Chief Product Officer, Ed Anuff.

The Azure Marketplace, an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure, helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed read-to-use solutions.
