Starburst Enterprise is a fully supported and enterprise-grade distributed SQL query engine designed for high-performance analytics. It is built on top of the open-source Trino project (formerly Presto® SQL) and provides enterprise-grade security and governance features. It delivers data virtualization and federation at enterprise scale.
Starburst Enterprise allows users to query large amounts of data stored in various data sources throughout an organization using standard SQL syntax. One of the key features of Starburst is its ability to run queries across different data sources simultaneously, in the same query. These sources include relational databases, NoSQL databases, object storage systems, and more. Response times are fast enough to support real-time analysis. This capability is achieved using catalogs and connectors. Starburst Enterprise shows a Starburst cluster between users’ SQL client and the existing data sources that they want to query.
