DSE OpsCenter compatibility with DSE
This table lists OpsCenter compatibility for both monitored and storage
clusters (if one or more are in use).
| OpsCenter version | DSE version |

| 6.1 | 5.1, 5.0 |

Note: Starting with OpsCenter version 6.0, OpsCenter is only
compatible with DataStax Enterprise (DSE) clusters. DataStax
discontinued OpsCenter compatibility with Open Source
Software (OSS) Cassandra clusters and DataStax Distributions
of Cassandra (DDC) clusters, formerly known as DataStax
Community (DSC). Customers currently using an OpsCenter
version earlier than 6.0 to provision, manage, and maintain
their OSS Cassandra, DSC, and DDC clusters must look for
other tools to continue their management and maintenance
activities.

DataStax support for Apache Cassandra
DataStax only supports the versions of Cassandra included in DataStax Enterprise, not
open-source Cassandra. You can download the latest open-source versions from Apache
Cassandra. Cassandra 3.0 documentation only applies to the enhanced versions of
Cassandra included in DataStax Enterprise 5.0 (EOL).
Note: DataStax Enterprise 4.8 is
End-Of-Service-Life (EOSL). Documentation for Cassandra 2.1 and CQL 3.1 is no longer
supported.
Content for the following DataStax produced Cassandra documents were last updated in early
January 2017:
- Cassandra 3.x Linux and Windows
- Cassandra 3.0 Windows
- Cassandra 2.2 Linux and Windows
- Cassandra 2.0
- Cassandra 1.2
For open-source Cassandra, see the Apache Cassandra documentation.
