DSE is particularly useful for managing cloud applications that need to process mass amounts of information. Through its linear scalability, DSE, by design, is a distributed system, simplifying the process of adding data centers to provide geographic proximity to customers. Additionally, DSE offers proven fault-tolerance on hardware and cloud infrastructure, potentially reducing costs in terms of licensing and scalability for enterprises.
