Overview

Starburst Enterprise is an advanced data analytics platform built upon the open-source Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) SQL query engine. It enables organizations to perform high-performance analytics on data distributed across various sources, whether on-premises or in the cloud. By providing a unified access layer, Starburst Enterprise allows users to query data without the need for complex and time-consuming data movement or replication processes. This capability significantly reduces the reliance on traditional data warehouse appliances and streamlines data analysis workflows.
