Aster Data nCluster:
Run Data-Driven Applications at Warp Speed

Big Data applications demand richer, deeper data processing at ultra-fast speeds, massive but cost-effective scaling and the ability to seamlessly manage diverse workloads. From applications like fraud detection, to customer intelligence, to trending & forecasting, to scenario modeling, to customer personalization and targeting, to click stream analysis – it is evident that enabling fast, deep processing of very large data sets can have a material impact on the business.

Aster Data nCluster

Aster Data’s nCluster is the first MPP data warehouse architecture that allows applications to be fully embedded with the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets. Termed a “Massively Parallel Data-Application Server”, Aster Data’s solution uses SQL-MapReduce with parallelized data processing and applications to address the big data challenge.

Aster Data nCluster is available in three product lines, with the same massively parallel data-application server at the heart of each architecture:

• Software-only: Aster Data nCluster
• Cloud-based: Aster Data nCluster Cloud Edition
• Appliance: Aster Data MapReduce Data Warehouse Appliance

Aster Data’s solution is the first massively parallel data-application server that uses Aster Data’s unique Applications-Within™ approach. Applications-Within places application and analytics logic where data natively resides to speed analysis of large data sets. Data processing and applications are fully parallelized and run on low-cost commodity hardware. Aster Data’s solution Aster Data’s patent-pending SQL-MapReduce which enables rapid application development and reusability.

Advantages of Aster Data nCluster:

• Always-Parallel, for Breakthrough Performance and Scaling
• Application Embedding and SQL-MapReduce for Ultra-fast Analysis
• Always-On, for 24x7 Continuous Business Operations
• Dynamic Mixed Workload Management
• Integration with BI, Data Integration Tools, and Hadoop
