[HPE_Experts]

By Suzanne Ferry, Director, HPE Learn On-Demand

The team at HPE Learn On-Demand has been busy finalizing a new technical course covering distributed SQL analytics, using Presto. Why does this matter? Read on.

Today’s SQL-based interactive workloads demand ad-hoc analytics at higher scale, using more diverse data. High data movement costs and data residency requirements add further complexity. Then, there are born-in-the-cloud applications, which embrace edge computing frameworks and streaming workloads.

To respond, you need loosely coupled, cloud-native query engines to support multiple analytics and business intelligence tools against a variety of backend data sources, such as file systems, object stores, and data warehouses. Does this sound like your analytics workload challenge?

Distributed SQL analytics with Presto enables querying data where it lives, combining data from multiple sources, allowing for analytics across the entire varied IT environment.

Learn how Presto enables fast analytics

Designed for the true SQL-izers among you, the Distributed SQL Analytics with Presto course starts in Lesson 1 with a survey of the history of Presto SQL, covering what it is and why it was developed. Next, you’ll learn about Presto’s features and applications, with detail on how Presto improves query performance.
