Starburst Stargate
Due to increasingly stringent data transfer and sovereignty regulations, multinational companies have struggled to find a solution to analyze data that resides across borders. This challenge has often forced strategic decisions to be made on partial analysis due to incomplete or missing data. In an environment of shifting privacy laws, it’s increasingly difficult for businesses to analyze critical data quickly, and at scale, while ensuring compliance.
Connected data for maximum value
Built for secure global hybrid and cross-cloud analytics.
Data Sovereignty
Enabling analytics on data across physical boundaries, without needing to move it, while ensuring data privacy and access controls are intact. Customers can ensure compliance with data privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA and financial regulations.
Distributed Data Fabric
Data Fabric encourages domain-driven data ownership, while centralized IT delivers core capabilities that allow teams to store, manage, and govern their data. Starburst Stargate enables Starburst enhanced Trino SQL query engine to operate across a Data Fabric architecture.
Cross-Cloud Analytics
Customers have struggled with cloud data lock-in. High egress fees have hindered analytics across data stored in multiple clouds. Starburst Stargate breaks down data access barriers across clouds and regions, empowering organizations with full, accurate insights from their global data.
Performance and security
Faster time to insights from distributed data without the security vulnerabilities from data movement and duplication.
Link Multiple Starburst Clusters
Enables users to connect to and query data from any catalog supported by the remote Starburst cluster, without configuring catalogs in two places.
Table Statistics
Includes support for table statistics that can be used by the cost-based optimizer for increased query processing performance.
Pushdown
Support pushdown of aggregate functions, LIMIT pushdown, dynamic filtering and related performance improvements.
User Impersonation
Authenticates users in the external service using credentials stored in the connector properties file.
Credential Passthrough
Supports passthrough of password authentication credentials to the underlying data source.
Kerberos Support
Connector supports Kerberos authentication.
Fine-grained access control
Via our Apache Ranger integration, access control rules are managed by the local entity where the data lives and prescribed for consumers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Connect Starburst Enterprise clusters deployed on-premises or in the cloud with Stargate
How does Stargate work?
Stargate is a powerful connector that allows a local Starburst Enterprise cluster (cluster A) to create a secure connection with a catalog in a separate remote Starburst Enterprise cluster (cluster B). When a user submits a query via Stargate, it is executed in the remote cluster B, and the results are returned to the user in the local cluster A via Stargate.
Can I connect Starburst Galaxy and Starburst Enterprise deployments using Stargate?
Stargate is built to connect Starburst Enterprise clusters in one region or deployed environment with another instance of Starburst Enterprise.
Can I connect to my open-source deployment of Trino using Stargate?
No, the Stargate connector is not designed to connect to open-source Trino deployments.
What use cases is Stargate ideal for?
Stargate is ideal for organizations with globally distributed clusters and strict data governance laws that require data to live in its local region. It unlocks the ability to connect and access data globally without breaking these restrictions, empowering analysts with the data they need.
