Analytics using Aster Data’s nCluster

May 11, 2010

Aster Data is a proven leader in big data management and big data analysis for data-driven applications. Aster Data’s nCluster is the first MPP data warehouse architecture that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets. Jonathan Goldman, Dir of Analytics and Applications, will present the overall architecture of Aster Data and discuss the vision for embedding advanced analytics within Aster Data’s nCluster. He’ll draw from some examples developed while at LinkedIn. He’ll discuss Map Reduce applications that can be run on the Aster system. The goal is to make this an informal and open discussion and learn more about the challenges facing the Real-time Classification of Massive Time-series Data Streams.
