Alluxio in OEM Partnership With Starburst Data, Presto Company

Alluxio, Inc., developer of open source data orchestration technology for the cloud used by seven of the world’s top 10 Internet companies, announced at Presto Summit it has collaborated with Starburst Data, Inc., the Presto company, to offer a bundled solution with performance and multi-cloud capabilities for interactive analytic workloads.

Users can transform their legacy data warehouse approach to a modern cloud approach, with a disaggregated compute and storage stack built on Presto, Alluxio and any file or object storage.

With the advent of the public clouds and data increasingly siloed across many locations – on premises and in the public cloud, enterprises are looking for more flexibility and higher performance approaches to analyze their structured data. Alluxio’s data orchestration technology brings data closer to compute, makes data more accessible through many different APIs and increases query performance via a tiered cache. Presto, the growing distributed SQL query engine, enables query federation across disparate data sources allowing users to separate computation from their data lake clusters.

Together, both companies allow for true separation of compute and storage, as Alluxio brings data requested by the workload from any file and object storage, on premises or in the public cloud, closer to Presto. This enables data locality at each node bringing consistent, higher performance to Presto workloads. In addition, users can deploy hybrid and multi-cloud analytics even with remote data sets.

“Presto has become the SQL engine of choice for enterprises across industries to seamlessly query data wherever it’s stored,” said Justin Borgman, co-founder and CEO, Starburst. “Working with Alluxio, we are now able to offer customers a caching solution to further benefit from the power of disaggregated analytics that Starburst Presto provides.“

“Some of the world’s largest internet companies like JD.com and Netease have already benefited from the Presto and Alluxio solution and deploy it at massive scale. With this new partnership, together we bring to market an innovative alternative to the traditional data warehouse. Presto, Alluxio and object storage technologies present a high performance, flexible, storage-agnostic and cloud-agnostic stack for enterprises to build a modern analytics platform,” said Steven Mih, CEO, Alluxio. “Presto users can now accelerate their workloads running on Hadoop or object stores whether data is on premises or in the cloud, enabling hybrid and multi-cloud interactive SQL analytics with high performance.“

“We use Alluxio to accelerate our ad hoc and real-time analytics with Presto,” said Wensheng Wang, big data platform architect, JD.com, a large China online retailer. “With Alluxio bringing data locality to Presto, we achieved a 10x performance gain on our queries on data in remote Hadoop clusters. We are excited that the Alluxio and Presto teams will be working closer together to benefit the entire stack.“

Alluxio is available for purchase through Starburst Data.
