I got emailed this today, I confess I hadn’t heard of Aster Data, they operate in the high performance compute space, it’s always great to read about or be introduced to new organizations in the high performance computing space (it’s an area of interest of mine) , I’ve copied their statement of what it is they do, and in the meantime, I’m off to their web site to read up more, and congratulate Dave Kellogg on his new role.

“Aster Data Systems is a proven leader in high-performance analytic database systems for data warehousing – the first DBMS to tightly integrate SQL with MapReduce – providing deep insights on data analyzed on clusters of low-cost commodity hardware.”
