SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata (NYSE:
TDC), the leading data and analytics company, and Starburst, today
announced a strategic relationship to keep the Presto community
vibrant, growing and supported. The partnership builds on
Teradata's commitment and success with the Presto open source
project, leveraging several former Teradata employees – key Presto
contributors – who have formed Starburst. The new company will be
focused exclusively on accelerating the development of Presto while
providing enterprise-grade support to the rapidly expanding Presto
user base. Teradata's partnership with Starburst demonstrates a
continued commitment to Presto and open source as part of its
Teradata Everywhere strategy.
Originally created at Facebook as a successor to the Apache Hive
project, Presto is a SQL engine that provides fast, interactive
query performance across a wide variety of data sources including
HDFS, S3, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, Kafka,
Teradata, and many others. Teradata continues its commitment to
Presto as part of Teradata QueryGrid which brings together diverse
environments into an orchestrated analytical ecosystem.
"At Teradata, we embrace open source as part of our analytical
ecosystem," said Oliver
Ratzesberger, Executive Vice President & Chief Product
Officer at Teradata. "In addition to our extensive work with
Presto, Teradata is also driving the open source development of
Kylo for data lake ingest and management, and Covalent for user
interfaces. With Starburst, we further support the growing adoption
of Presto as a foundation for enterprise deployments."
Over the past few years, Teradata has engineered numerous
scalability, performance, security and manageability improvements
into the core Presto engine. Starburst will continue investing
heavily in query engine development while also certifying releases
of Presto optimized for QueryGrid to provide Teradata users with
the fastest path to query data wherever it may be.
"We are thrilled by the opportunity to pursue our ambitious
goals for Presto as a new independent company," said Justin Borgman, Co-founder at Starburst.
"Whether you've been using Presto in production for years or you're
trying out Presto for the first time, we look forward to working
with you to achieve your goals with the best open source SQL engine
on the planet."
