DataStax, Inc. is a software company that develops and provides commercial support for an enterprise edition of the Cassandra database, a NoSQL database.
DataStax's business model centers around selling an enterprise distribution of the open-source Apache Cassandra project with extensions for Analytics and Search using Apache Spark and Apache Solr respectively. The DataStax Enterprise (DSE) distribution comes with 24x7 customer support.[2] In addition, DataStax offers professional services and training directly [3] and through an extensive partner network.[4]
History
The company's two founders, Jonathan Ellis and Matt Pfeil, were employees of Rackspace. They left Rackspace in 2010 to found DataStax (original name: Riptano). DataStax Enterprise 1.0 was released in October 2011. By mid 2013, the company had acquired more than $84 million in funding from venture capital firms,[5] and launched into Europe.
Language bindings
Languages with DSE binding include Java, Node.js, .NET, Python, Ruby, and C/C++. The Cassandra Community maintains additional drivers for PHP, Perl, Go, Clojure, Haskell, R, and Scala.

The original eight-person team moved into rented office space in San Mateo, California in early 2011. In March 2014, the company moved to a 36,000 square foot office space in Santa Clara, CA to accommodate the growing workforce.[6]
The company has a satellite office in Austin, Texas and additional offices in London, Paris, Sydney and Tokyo.
