Better Together: Unlock Distributed Analytics with Starburst on Red Hat OpenShift


Unified, Governed Analytics Across Hybrid Environments

 

Starburst on Red Hat OpenShift

Starburst and Red Hat together enable organizations to analyze distributed data across on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud environments without moving or duplicating data. Deployed on Red Hat OpenShift, Starburst provides secure, high-performance federated analytics that help agencies and regulated enterprises modernize analytics, preserve data sovereignty and maintain compliance.

By combining Starburst’s distributed SQL analytics platform with Red Hat OpenShift’s enterprise Kubernetes foundation, organizations can simplify operations, scale analytics on demand and deliver trusted insights across business intelligence, analytics and machine learning workflows.

Federated Analytics Without Data Movement

As data continues to spread across databases, data lakes, and cloud platforms, moving data for analysis becomes costly, complex and risky. Starburst enables federated analytics by allowing teams to query data where it lives, across environments, using a single, consistent SQL interface

Built on Trino, Starburst delivers high-performance query execution across distributed data sources while enforcing enterprise-grade security and governance. This approach eliminates data silos, reduces duplication and accelerates access to trusted data for analytics and decision-making.

Enterprise-Scale Analytics on Red Hat OpenShift

When deployed on Red Hat OpenShift, Starburst runs as a cloud-native analytics platform designed for scale, resilience and operational efficiency. OpenShift Operators automate the deployment and lifecycle management of Starburst clusters, simplifying upgrades, configuration and day-to-day operations.

With Kubernetes-native elasticity, Starburst clusters can dynamically scale Trino worker pods based on query demand—ensuring consistent performance while optimizing infrastructure utilization. This architecture supports modern analytics workloads without overprovisioning or manual intervention.

Secure, Governed Access Across Hybrid Environments

Starburst and Red Hat OpenShift together provide a strong foundation for secure, governed analytics in complex environments. Starburst enforces fine-grained access controls and policy-driven governance across distributed data sources, while OpenShift delivers enterprise-grade security, isolation and compliance capabilities at the platform layer.

This combined approach enables organizations to:

  • Maintain control over sensitive and regulated data
  • Support multi-tenant analytics environments
  • Meet security and compliance requirements without limiting access or agility

A Unified Platform for Analytics, BI and ML

Together, Starburst and Red Hat OpenShift provide a modern platform for analytics, business intelligence and machine learning workloads. Agencies and regulated organizations can access and analyze distributed data in real time, support diverse analytics tools and prepare data for advanced use cases without redesigning their architecture or compromising governance.

The result is faster insights, simpler operations and a scalable foundation for data-driven decision-making across the enterprise
