Data will remain highly distributed in most enterprises. Without capabilities to access data where it resides, enterprises resort to data copies, data movement, and additional transformations that add substantially to the complexity of the data landscape. Starburst is designed to enable quick access to data no matter where it resides, across customer-owned data centers and public cloud providers. Combined with Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell ECS object storage, it powers high performance analytics for petabyte-scale data, helping unlock valuable insights from the enterprise data assets.
Data users can accelerate data exploration without waiting for expensive ETL pipelines to be set up, while IT teams can continue to focus on simplifying and modernizing the data landscape. A critical step toward a modern data landscape is adopting data lake storage technology, such as Dell ECS, using open data formats to unlock analytics over the same data with a multitude of analytics engines, and without data copies or movement. In many organizations, different teams and user personas opt for different tools based on the specific workloads – all of them trying to access the same data. The Multicloud Data Analytics solutions empowers such users to extract business value out of their data in a simple and effective manner.
