Cassandra Day Atlanta 2015

Asurion is the global leader in technology protection services with over 200M subscribers and users of its products.

With a world that is increasingly becoming digital, and devices dominating our lives, Asurion's sole goal is to help make technology seamlessly work and make our lives richer.
With a significant user base and an ever expanding set of devices, expectations from our products and services have also exponentially risen. Whether it is high availability or extreme scale across the globe, conventional approaches have limited capabilities. Distributed databases allowed us to attain the scale.

In the talk, I'd like to introduce Asurion's journey in becoming a global service provider and how adopting a distributed database management system like Cassandra became a crucial part of our technology strategy. It not only provides us scale and performance to serve our global customers today, but also positions us to take on a future which will inevitably include a world of everything connected devices.
