The "Framework for Assessing NoSQL Databases" report includes key findings, recommendations and reasons to deploy an operational, table-style database.
DataStax has announced that Gartner Inc. recently released a detailed report titled, "Assessment of DataStax Enterprise with Cassandra" that assesses how well Cassandra fulfills must-have and nice-to-have features for table-style NoSQL databases.
As stated in the February 3, 2016 report, authored by Gartner analyst Lyn Robison: "Big data and IoT requirements are pushing relational database management systems (RDBMSs) beyond their traditional limits and NoSQL technologies have emerged to complement RDBMSs. To select the right NoSQL database management system (DBMS), IT professionals should focus on the use cases for database management systems."1
