Why Starburst?

The Starburst is proven for enterprise-grade performance, security and integration. It’s hybrid and open data lakehouse architecture supports AI & ML workloads and Data Analytics.

As an open, hybrid platform Starburst makes data accessible from different databases or table formats with integrated cross-platform query capabilities. This flexibility to query data extends across any cloud environment, for a vendor-agnostic underlying infrastructure.

High performance is supported thanks to the Starburst enhancement of Trino, a leading open-source SQL engine. It powers database queries with massively parallel processing (MPP), which enables machine learning, cloud computing automation, big data analysis and simulations that require high performance computing.

The use of parallel computing and open integration provides the most cost-effective option when scaling your AI and analytics – reducing costs with scale-out object storage and compute.

The ease to manage data products simplifies engineering requirements for data pre-processing and building data pipelines. This improves operations, security and governance.

Starburst empowers the most data-intensive and security-conscious organizations like Comcast, Halliburton, Vectra, EMIS Health, and 7 of the top 10 global banks to democratize data access, enhance analytics performance, and improve architecture optionality.

What is a Data Lakehouse?

A data lakehouse is centralised data repository, which combines advantages of both a data lake and a data warehouse. Data lakes store any type of data, typically storing raw data in cold, cost-effective storage. Benefits include flexibility, scalability, and affordability. A data warehouse on the other hand gives structure through table-based formats, which is needed for data governance and better performance for advanced analytics. The capability of a lakehouse to store any type of data efficiently and overcome issues with quality and analytics saves costs and increases performance.
