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.
Founded in 2005, Aster Data secured a $30.00M Series C investment on 22 September 2010 from Icon Ventures, Cambrian Ventures, David Cheriton, IVP, and Sequoia Capital. The company operates within the Analytics and Big Data industries, positioning itself as a key player in the rapidly evolving landscape of data-driven applications.
