Briefly
A sequentially written commit log on each node captures write activity to ensure data durability. Data is then indexed and written to an in-memory structure, called a memtable, which resembles a write-back cache. Each time the memory structure is full, the data is written to disk in an SSTables data file. All writes are automatically partitioned and replicated throughout the cluster. Cassandra periodically consolidates SSTables using a process called compaction, discarding obsolete data marked for deletion with a tombstone. To ensure all data across the cluster stays consistent, various repair mechanisms are employed.

Briefly
A Cluster is a collection of Data Centers.
A Data Center is a collection of Racks.
A Rack is a collection of Servers.
A Server contains 256 virtual nodes (or vnodes) by default.
A vnode is the data storage layer within a server.

Brief
If you have two data-centers -- you basically have complete data in each data-center. And if you have set replication factor, say, 2 for each data-center -- this means each data-center will have 2 copies of the data.

Snitch
A snitch determines which datacenters and racks nodes belong to. They inform Cassandra about the network topology so that requests are routed efficiently and allows Cassandra to distribute replicas by grouping machines into datacenters and racks. Specifically, the replication strategy places the replicas based on the information provided by the new snitch. All nodes must return to the same rack and datacenter. Cassandra does its best not to have more than one replica on the same rack (which is not necessarily a physical location).
