DataStax, which has headquarters in Santa Clara, California, United States is the “database technology of choice” for more than 500 companies globally including major names like Netflix, Safeway, ING, Adobe, Intuit, Target and eBay. While it has announced DataStax’s acquisition of DataScale would bring “technology and industry expertise” to the company, financial aspects of the deal were not released.

The new service will be available in early 2017 and offered on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform.
“At DataStax, we recognize that delivering cloud applications at a global scale is critically important, and that’s why we’ve decided to introduce a fully-managed, comprehensive data service offering to help our customers transform their businesses even faster,” explained DataStax’s CEO Billy Bosworth. “DataStax is thrilled to welcome to our team the experienced engineers and senior leaders at DataScale.
