IBM + DataStax

By DataStax-PM-Team DataStax PM Team posted 12 hours ago

  

IBM’s acquisition of DataStax will be completed on November 1. As part of this acquisition, new sales and transactions of DataStax offerings will now be conducted on IBM paper under IBM-equivalent offerings. 

  • Astra DB will become a component of the IBM watsonx.data Multicloud offering. 

  • LUNA for Pulsar, Langflow, and Apache Cassandra will be rebranded as new IBM Elite Support offerings.

  • DataStax AI for NVIDIA will be a component of the watsonx.data Premium offering. 

The addition of DataStax significantly expands IBM’s capabilities by bringing enterprise-grade streaming, NoSQL database technology, and advanced generative AI tools to our comprehensive data platform. 

Astra Streaming and LUNA Streaming augment IBM’s Automation offerings with SaaS and on-premises options for enterprises seeking an event streaming and messaging platform. 

Traditionally, watsonx.data has served as a powerful analytics platform, providing multiple engines—including Iceberg data lakes, Apache Spark, and Presto—to run complex analytical workloads. With the addition of DataStax Astra DB and Hyper Converged Database, we're now expanding beyond analytics to support NoSQL operational workloads, creating a unified platform that seamlessly handles both OLTP (Online Transaction Processing), OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) and HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) use cases. 

This acquisition brings immediate value through DataStax's mature vector search capabilities, essential for modern AI applications, and Langflow, an intuitive agent development platform that accelerates generative AI solution building. Together, they create a more complete and powerful data platform that addresses the full spectrum of enterprise data needs—from real-time operational applications to complex analytics and AI-driven insights. 

Existing DataStax customers will continue to receive the same high level of support and service they have come to expect.
