Searching for a well established company that can provide consulting and
operations support for private multi-dc production Cassandra cluster on

Plenty of use cases for open source software exist when there is no company
that supports the software at all. "Production ready" is undefinable in the
abstract.
Now if you're asking if I personally would run Cassandra on Windows in
production... I probably would only do so after establishing to my
satisfaction that it worked with the kind of workloads I expected it to
receive. But I am a relatively cautious operator, and do not have a
requirement to run on Windows...

I was in discussions with Datastax to license DSE/support, however I was
told Windows won't be production supported by Datastax by Jan-Mar. If no
company supports Cassandra on Windows in production, especially Datastax,
then it's hard to rationalize that it's ready or can/should be relied on in
production.

Just to clarify, support for Windows on Cassandra is there in 2.2, and that
is what Jonathan was referring to in his keynote. Support for an OS and
having a Support Team are two different things (DataStax's support team
supports DataStax Enterprise licensed customers).
Also, Cassandra Summit was a conference for Cassandra, hosted by DataStax.
Throughout Jonathan's keynote, he was addressing Apache Cassandra, not
DataStax Enterprise.
Hope that helps clear the muddy waters!

Jonathan Ellis slide showing windows support was at 1:02:18 minutes into
the Cassandra Summit Keynote. At 1:07:30 Jonathan specifically said, *“Windows
support…in 2.2 it is production ready first class citizen, we expect it to
be on a level playing field with our linux support”*.
I sent DataStax a copy of the keynote slide and the time it was shown and
the quote Jonathan made with the time in the keynote he made it. That's
when Datastax told me they don't currently support windows and probably
won't by January-March timeframe. This is an opportunity for another
company to step up and provide production Windows support.
So a co-founder and employee of Datastax stood on stage and
implied/stretched the truth about production Windows support for Cassandra.
How do you know a salesman is lying? His lips are moving.

I would start with DataStax. In this year's summit keynote Jonathan Ellis
said C* would start receiving production level support on Windows.

I highly recommend DataStax support, although we have not done Windows. They are in a growth phase, so I expect there will be growing pains with support. However, they have some top notch folks in place.
