Cassandra and New AKS-native Enterprise Offering

New Control Dashboard in Dsync Enterprise

We're excited to share two releases that go hand in hand: a new Cassandra connector in private preview, and a fully AKS-native edition of Dsync Enterprise, now available on the Azure Marketplace.

The Cassandra connector

The Cassandra connector supports both source and sink roles, so you can migrate into and out of Cassandra-family databases. It works with Apache Cassandra, DataStax Enterprise, and Astra DB.

That opens up a set of migration paths customers have been asking us for:

- Apache Cassandra / Astra DB / DataStax Enterprise → Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra - a homogeneous lift to a managed service.

- Apache Cassandra / Astra DB / DataStax Enterprise → MongoDB Atlas - a heterogeneous move to a document model.

As with the rest of Dsync, these are live migrations: data flows continuously from source to destination, so you can cut over on your schedule instead of the migration's. And with Dsync Enterprise the migration scales linearly with the number of workers, so you can migrate 10TB with the same ease as 10GB.

Why an AKS-native offering

Cassandra deployments aren't small. A typical cluster holds terabytes of data and billions of records, and that scale is exactly where migrations get hard. For workloads like these, customers reach for Dsync Enterprise, which is built to scale horizontally.

The challenge was deployment. Standing up and operating a scalable migration tool shouldn't be a project of its own. So we built a fully AKS-native offering and published it on the Azure Marketplace. It deploys straight into Kubernetes, regular or Automatic, - and if you're not on Azure, the same release ships as a Helm chart for any Kubernetes cluster.

What's new in Dsync Enterprise

The AKS-native release also introduces a web control dashboard for setting up and operating migrations:

- Manage multiple concurrent flows from a single deployment - no redeploying to add a migration.

- Dynamically allocate worker nodes to each flow, and scale them up and down natively in Kubernetes as the workload changes.

- Test your flows and transformations ahead of time, so you can validate your configuration before moving production data.

You control worker allocation per flow from the Web UI, which means one Dsync deployment can run a fleet of migrations side by side.

More than Cassandra

The AKS-native offering features Dsync Enterprise and includes several private-preview connectors as a bonus. Beyond the Cassandra paths above, common routes include:

- MongoDB Atlas / Community → Azure DocumentDB

- Cosmos DB → MongoDB Atlas

- AWS DocumentDB → Azure DocumentDB or MongoDB Atlas

- DynamoDB → Cosmos DB NoSQL or MongoDB Atlas

- Apache HBase → MongoDB, DocumentDB, or Cosmos DB NoSQL

- PostgreSQL → DocumentDB or MongoDB Atlas

- SQL Server → MongoDB, DocumentDB, or Cosmos DB NoSQL

- DB2 → DocumentDB or MongoDB Atlas

- Oracle → DocumentDB or MongoDB Atlas

Why teams choose Dsync

Adiom Dsync is the fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to move production workloads at scale — for RDBMS and NoSQL databases, in homogeneous or heterogeneous configurations. It's purpose-built for mission-critical migrations:

- Accelerated timelines - complete online migrations in minutes to hours, not weeks or months, with native horizontal scaling in AKS.

- Enterprise-grade reliability - built-in resiliency and data validation reduce risk and prevent interruptions.

- Zero-storage transfer - data flows directly from source to destination with network encryption and no intermediate storage.

- Effortless deployment - no extra infrastructure to manage; monitor progress via CLI or web UI with full operational transparency.

- Expert guidance - tap into our deep experience with the process and the technology for a smooth, predictable migration.

Getting started

Dsync can deploy into your existing AKS cluster (regular or Automatic), or you can create a new cluster as part of the offer setup. All you need is a VNet from which both the source and destination databases are reachable.
