DataStax on Microsoft Azure: The Best Destination for Generative AI Applications

The shift to generative AI (GenAI) is well underway, creating a wave of disruption. According to Deloitte, over half of CEOs report they are evaluating or testing use cases with generative AI, while another 37 percent are already at limited production use or pervasive adoption. Most projects, however, are still largely experimental. Moving beyond this stage requires an architectural approach that lays out a common infrastructure for development, enhances relevance, accelerates time to value, and ensures security and compliance.

DataStax on Microsoft Azure delivers a one-stop generative AI stack and data APIs to dramatically accelerate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) application development. Providing access to cutting-edge GenAI models from Azure OpenAI, along with Azure's unparalleled global presence and compliance offerings, DataStax supports both structured and vector data and is deeply integrated with preferred tools like Azure Functions, Power Query, and GitHub Copilot. 

Astra DB delivers 74x faster response time and 20 percent higher relevance, with 9X higher throughput and 80 percent lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than competitive solutions. Making GenAI and RAG application development 100X faster and easier, DataStax gives developers a competitive edge while enabling them to deploy using the APIs and languages they already use and love. Instead of spending time writing complex queries, DataStax frees developers to focus on building and deploying apps instead of tedious data manipulation.

It also delivers ultra-low latency on billions of vectors and can scale to petabyte-sized data across the most regions globally, while maintaining high availability and meeting the strictest security and compliance standards. 

The proven, powerful destination for building real-time GenAI projects, DataStax on Azure helps organizations across industries realize significant efficiency and productivity gains, improve service delivery, and realize unprecedented value for their organizations and customers.
