San Carlos, CA – (Marketwire – February 22, 2010) – Aster Data, a proven leader specializing in the best data and data processing platform for large data applications, today announced Aster Data nCluster 4.5, one represents an important step in the analysis of companies allowed to develop and manage sophisticated, interactive analytic applications, to simplify the extremely large amounts of data. Aster Data earlier versions had lots of data analysis possible by analytical applications to run inside massively parallel database Aster Data. Now nCluster 4.5, the development and management of sophisticated analysis for deep exploration data on massive amounts of data fast and easy, the richer and deeper insights into business processes. With the volume of data in enterprises has doubled every 18 months, rich and extremely fast analysis of dozens and hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of data has become a necessity.
MapReduce software framework, popularized by Google, a powerful distributed computing solution for advanced analytics on massive amounts of data. Aster Data was the first to integrate MapReduce with SQL in its massively parallel database, and now Aster Data nCluster 4.5 offers the market the first comprehensive platform for easy and fast development, deployment and management of MapReduce-enabled analytic applications. nCluster offers 4.5: Aster Data Developer Express, the first integrated visual development environment for the creation of MapReduce and SQL analytical applications, Aster Data Analytic Foundation, a powerful suite of reusable analytic functions for the acceleration of application development, Aster Data Management Console 4.5, a cut new edge management for powerful visibility and control of data and analytical applications, console and support for solid-state storage devices (SSD) to accelerate storage performance.
“We look forward to the benefits of the new features in nCluster 4.5, because they will enable us to develop, deploy and manage advanced analytic applications faster and more efficiently than ever before, so we can quickly provide deep insights to our business depends, “said Don Watters, Principal Architect, Data Services on MySpace. Aster Data’s new integrated development environment allows us to parts of the development to automate the currently take days, so we build rich analytic applications faster and easier. We are also very excited to take advantage of the new Aster Data Management Console which offers deep insights into the performance of the system and offers a deeper level of situation awareness and historical perspective to our overall operational and technical staff. “
The continuing data explosion is absolutely organizations to evolve rapidly to their analysis strategy for rapid and comprehensive analysis on terabytes and petabytes of data supply. This new generation of analytics requires technological innovations that improve the performance, scalability and complexity challenges address the large data analysis. Aster Data has paved the way for the unification of the fundamental technological innovations necessary to handle large data analysis possible with the first data-application server – a data management and applications platform with the performance and scalability of a massively parallel data warehouse, the only solution to deep integrate with SQL MapReduce for advanced analytics, and the first platform, the applications can be completely in the database for fast access to terabytes and petabytes of data running.
Key new features include nCluster of 4.5:1 Aster Data Developer Express provides the first integrated visual environment for the development of analytical applications with SQL and MapReduce and significantly easier development and deployment of MapReduce-enabled applications. It makes it easy to develop, validate and deploy large data applications through integration with the popular Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) that includes wizards, the common elements to automate the analytical application development, provides a desktop test environment for local development and testing; and enables one-click button down of analytic applications in Aster Data nCluster database applications, here in eliminating all latency run with massive data movement takes place.
2nd Aster Data Analytic Foundation accelerates the development of rich analytics with a powerful suite of reusable building blocks for joint analytical functions. These ready-to-use modules have been optimized to take advantage of the power of Aster Data SQL MapReduce framework for the rapid analysis, and provide the industry’s first suite of optimized functions for MapReduce. Example features include advanced time series analysis, market basket analysis for advanced analytics in the retail, and a series of statistical analysis functions relevant for many industries, particularly financial service providers.3 Aster Data Management Console 4.5 is a completely new management console, rich makes it easy to monitor and manage large data and advanced analytic applications with an intuitive interface and offers sophisticated handling of the nCluster platform and the applications running inside. The rich interface provides extensive and deep insights into data clusters and application metrics so customers view and manage analytic applications according to their business priorities.
4 Even faster Analytics on big data. The addition of support for solid-state memory provides significantly faster data access than conventional physical storage for physical up to 10x better performance than hard drives. Aster Data Loader new next-generation data greatly accelerated the traffic in nCluster with industry-leading throughput for fast loading of data.
“At TDWI, we see many user organizations more deeply in advanced analytics,” said Philip Russom, senior manager of research at The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI). “When they embrace advanced analysis, they must choose an analytic approach based on extreme SQL, Predictive Analytics, or an alternative such as MapReduce. Since all of these approaches achieve the best results from a very large sample data users also need an analytical platform to handle large data. The new version 4.5 Aster Data is nCluster the only database management system is that all three types of advanced analysis capabilities, easy-to-use development and deployment tools for all three forms, and high performance for all three also supported with large data. “” Aster Data for the supply of innovation are needed to allow the next generation of advanced analytics and data-driven applications required. Our focus on providing the industry’s first massively parallel data application server through the integration of the analytical power of MapReduce with the ability to run applications made in the database large data analysis possible, “said Mayank Bawa, CEO and Founder, Aster Data. “NCluster 4.5 builds on our recent breakthroughs with new innovations to large data analysis to make faster and easier, it enables companies to gain a deep insight into their business by a new generation of data-driven applications.”
Aster Data also announced in a separate press release today the expansion of its partner program to give partners a quicker and easier way to develop advanced analytical capabilities with the new Aster Data Developer Express environment, Aster Data Analytic Foundation and Aster Data Patent pending SQL MapReduce framework.“Aster Data Solution Provider partner program and new cutting-edge development tools, a rich, provide standards-based development ecosystem for large data application developers and system integrators,” said Pankaj Mittal, CTO of Impetus. “With our experience in the development of large data applications and Aster Data elegant integration of MapReduce with SQL in a visual development environment, reduce impetus to the development time for solutions and build rich data-driven applications that our customers provide data monetization enable higher customer satisfaction rating and risk reduction. “
