You have to tune Cassandra in order to run it under a low memory environment. Many settings must be tuned. The link that Michael mentions provides a quick start.
There is a point that I haven't understood. *When* did your nodes die? Under load? Or can they be killed via OOM killer even if they are not loaded? If the nodes are VM you have to pay attention to hypervisor memory overcommit.
