DATASTAX EXPANDS ASIA-PACIFIC FOOTPRINT WITH NEW SINGAPORE HEADQUARTERS

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 (Bernama) -- DataStax announced it has expanded its footprint in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market with the opening of a new office in Singapore.

According to a statement, establishing regional headquarters in Singapore marks a major global expansion for DataStax and comes hot on the heels of new funding from Goldman Sachs.

The expansion reinforces DataStax’s commitment to APAC and enables the company to meet the growing global demand for its marquee offering: Astra, an open data stack for modern data apps built on Apache Cassandra™.

“We see an impressive opportunity for growth in APAC. We are excited to expand our presence in APAC to help the growing number of enterprises adopting an open data stack to accelerate their digital transformation,” said DataStax chairman and chief executive officer, Chet Kapoor.

To support this expansion, Deb Dutta, an industry veteran with over 25 years of experience driving strategy, growth, marketing, operations and organisation buildout has joined DataStax as general manager of the APAC region.

Dutta has held leadership positions with global enterprise technology leaders including McAfee, Brocade and Juniper Networks. He is responsible for building the team, expanding enterprise engagements, strategic partnerships and accelerating DataStax’s growth across APAC.

In addition, New Zealand-based Aaron Morton will support this expansion as a technical expert in APAC. Morton is a veteran of Apache Cassandra, starting his contributions in 2010.

With offices worldwide and APAC-specific locations in Australia, Japan and Singapore, DataStax has helped nearly 500 of the world’s most demanding enterprises and half of the Fortune 100 power their modern data apps.
