Apache Cassandra on Oracle Linux 8.4

Cassandra stands the test of time for more than twenty years against NoSQL competitors. 90% of the Fortune 100, including Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, and more rely on Cassandra. Trusted by huge enterprises and startups alike to manage incredible amounts of data with high performance. Cassandra masterless architecture outperforms NoSQL competitors in applications and benchmarks at its core: its linear scalability and high availability on fault-tolerant cloud and commodity hardware. Hybrid Cassandra does not compromise performance, whether on-premise or on public or private cloud. Its low latency ensures no data is lost in a data center outage. 

Oracle Linux 8.4 is the most comprehensive Linux environment to date. It provides virtualization, management, automation, and cloud native computing tools. It modernizes, optimizes, and secures hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures. Applications can run on-premises, in Oracle Cloud, and in other clouds. Specially designed for Hybrid Cloud, Linux includes the latest open standards virtualization and cloud native tools.  

Oracle Linux is the only autonomous operating system (OS), which reduces OS management task complexity and overhead. It also includes automated Linux patching with no reboot required, for the kernel, hypervisor, and critical user-space libraries. An integrated suite of cloud native tools streamlines infrastructure deployments and improves workload performance.

Apache Cassandra does not compromise. Fault tolerant control on large active data sets without sacrificing quality. Cassandra is tested on clusters up to 1000 nodes large, with hundreds of case studies, schemas, and performance tests. Apache Cassandra is largely distributed so it survives regional outages. Apache Cassandra distribution makes it powerful and resilient. 

Lower latency is always ensured by replicating across multiple datacenters. It prevents single point failures because all node clusters are identical. Replace failed nodes without waiting. Cassandra continues to transfer data between nodes in peak traffic.  

Apache Cassandra takes scalability one step further. Zero Copy Streaming adds nodes and datacenters is 5x faster without vnodes. Increase read and write throughput linearly as you add new machines. Apache Cassandra prevents delays whether you add machines, nodes, or datacenters. Its elastic architecture is optimal on cloud and for Kubernetes. 

Oracle Linux 8.4 supports virtualization and containers in one image to get the most of your enterprise OS. This makes it popular among IT and enterprise users. Oracle Linux Server 8.4 is also ideal for DevSecOps who wish to minimize hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM). Installation is minimal and provides flexible scalability from nano instances to larger fleets for compatibility with your needs. 

Its Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) and Red Hat Compatible Kernel are updated on the installation image. It includes kernel live patching (KLP), which applies critical security patches while the kernel runs, with no reboot required. A constantly updated enterprise is maintained without IRQs interrupting business activities.  

Oracle Linux 8.4 is 100% application binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), independent of the kernel underlying the OS. Versatility is offered between the native pre-configured RPM repository and user space compatibility with RHEL. The Oracle Linux 8.4 Server kernel is more innovative than other commercial Linux kernels. It runs at higher performance than is possible on image-import. 

Oracle Linux 8.4 offers flexible support options to match your enterprise’s needs. Its offerings include Embedded Linux, Linux in the cloud, and on-premises. Embedded Linux is most cost-effective by embedding feature-rich Linux distros. Linux in the cloud offers Oracle Linux Premier Support, free of charge. Linux on-premises is the best Linux OS for comprehensive and open distributions.  

Ntegral certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box. 

Ntegral packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Ntegral automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.
