Officially incorporated on March 5, 2013, DataStax EMEA provides sales, marketing and support services for DataStax-s commercial product, DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 3.0. The Apache Cassandra-based NoSQL big data platform delivers continuous availability support and performance, as well as elastic scaling across multiple data centers and the cloud.
“We conducted a significant amount of business in Europe last year, and launching DataStax EMEA in the first quarter of 2013 will contribute to a breakout year for us in the region,” said Billy Bosworth, CEO, DataStax. “The Cassandra community is vibrant throughout EMEA, and we are addressing the huge demand we-ve seen from our existing customers as well as prospects.”
More than 250 customers, including 20 of the Fortune 100 and companies such as Netflix, eBay, Thomson Reuters and Synchronoss, rely on DataStax to power their big data apps. In October 2012, DataStax completed a $25 million C round of funding led by Meritech Capital Partners, with participation from existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Crosslink Capital. Now to increase its existing business and address significant growth opportunities in the region, DataStax EMEA is broadening the company-s product availability in the UK and other countries.
“DataStax-s expansion into Europe is indicative of growing global interest in NoSQL database technologies,” said Matt Aslett, research director, data management and analytics, 451 Research. “Enterprises around the world are seeing the potential in adopting NoSQL databases for new development projects to unlock the value in data that is unsuitable to be stored and processed in traditional relational databases.”
