TYSONS CORNER, Va.,
Sept. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading
worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today
announced that through its optimized Presto Connector,
MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise™ enables organizations with
immense amounts of data to run thousands of quick, interactive
analytic queries against multiple data stores. Developed by
Facebook, Presto is an open source distributed SQL query engine for
running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all
sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes.
"The impact of having a JDBC connector to Presto is huge for the
analytics community," said Tim Lang,
Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer,
MicroStrategy Incorporated. "MicroStrategy 10 Secure
Enterprise's optimized Presto Connector empowers our Big Data
customers to query into their data quickly, interactively, at
petabyte scale. It enables users to query and explore their immense
amounts of data, sometimes spread across multiple data sources,
without performance constraints. Having this connector in
MicroStrategy Desktop and Web opens the door to build quick
analytics to the masses who typically access Presto pragmatically
and dump results in files or databases to connect with additional
visualization tools."
Targeted at analysts who expect fast interactive response times,
Presto allows querying data where it lives, including Hive,
Cassandra, relational databases or even proprietary data stores. A
single Presto query can combine data from multiple sources, and
supports data exploration across an entire organization. Presto
breaks the false choice between having fast analytics using an
expensive commercial solution or using a slow "free" solution that
requires excessive hardware.
"Presto brings tremendous value to Big Data organizations,"
added Lang. "Unlike Hive, Presto doesn't use the map reduce
framework for its execution. Instead, Presto directly accesses the
data through a specialized distributed query engine that is very
similar to those found in commercial parallel RDBMSs."
Generally available in June 2015,
MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise builds on proven enterprise
capabilities to make sophisticated, high-performance analytics more
accessible, easier to use, and faster. To learn more about
