SHARE Fresh off a $100 million venture capital infusion that vaulted it to unicorn status, Starburst Data Inc. today announced a managed version of its analytics platform based on the Presto distributed database management system. Starburst Galaxy combines cloud-native features such as rapid deployment and massive scalability with high-powered security features that include multifactor authentication, fine-grained access controls and detailed security audits. The product is functionally identical to the self-managed version Starburst has been offering in cloud marketplaces, but the self-managed features relieve users of much of the overhead of configuration and management. “The ease of deployment makes it effectively on-demand,” said Chief Executive Justin Borgman. Starburst joins a long line of software vendors that have recently released cloud-native managed services to supplement or replace earlier products that originated in data centers and were transplanted to the cloud.
