Aster Data Systems

Aster Data Systems is a frontrunner in the field of big data management and analysis, offering a groundbreaking approach to handling massive data sets with their unique applications-within™ technology. The company's flagship product, nCluster, represents the first MPP data warehouse architecture with the capability to integrate applications directly within the database engine, enabling rapid and in-depth analysis of extensive data sets.

One of Aster Data's key innovations is its "applications-within" methodology, which allows application logic to coexist and operate alongside the data itself. Referred to as a "Massively Parallel Data-Application Server," Aster Data harnesses proprietary SQL-MapReduce for parallel data processing and applications, effectively addressing the challenges inherent in big data.

Leading companies such as Coremetrics, MySpace, Akamai, ShareThis, and Full Tilt Poker have successfully leveraged Aster Data's solutions. The company, headquartered in San Carlos, California, has garnered support from prominent investors including Sequoia Capital, JAFCO Ventures, IVP, Cambrian Ventures, and First Round Capital, alongside industry visionaries like David Cheriton and Ron Conway.
