Aster Data Analytics Center

The Aster Data Analytics Center accelerates development of advanced analytic applications. This is accomplished through a combination of product offerings, services, a world-class team, and an elite ecosystem of partners to develop and deliver data-driven applications leveraging SQL and MapReduce.

Product Offerings

Teradata Aster Discovery Portfolio is a powerful suite of reusable MapReduce analytic functions that simplify and accelerate the development of advanced analytic applications. The functions in Analytic Foundation are designed for high performance and scalability by leveraging the power of Aster Data's in-database MapReduce and SQL-MapReduce® framework. These building blocks enable developers to simplify and accelerate deployment of analytic applications that deliver high performance and scalability with Aster Database.

Rather than spending time and effort on implementing, testing, and optimizing their own code for common analytic operations, developers can use these pre-built functions within their applications through the SQL-MapReduce framework. As a result, they can focus on the higher-level logic that is unique to their applications and organization, speeding development and ensuring consistency across their applications.
