Apache Cassandra is one of the most widely used open-source distributed database management systems that are designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers. It provides high availability with no single point of failure. Cassandra also offers robust support for clusters spanning multiple datacenters, with asynchronous masterless replication allowing low latency operations for all clients.
