SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/planetcassandra/cool-stuff-we-use-cassandra-on

Zipwhip is the world's first text-only carrier and focuses on extending the phone number to all internet connected devices. Billions of text messages traverse Zipwhip’s network each day. Similar to what users have come to expect from modern communication services, Zipwhip coordinates the state across all connected devices and this presents a unique problem set. Zipwhip leverages Cassandra to store immense amount of real-time data across multiple datacenters and provides carrier-grade uptime and responsiveness. Zipwhip is currently trialing/proving Cassandra with signal coordination and has the ultimate goal of transitioning the storage text messages from MySQL to Cassandra.
