    Aster Data's nCluster is the first massively parallel processing (MPP) data warehouse architecture that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets. Aster Data's unique "applications-withinTM" approach allows application logic to exist and execute with the data itself. Termed a "Massively Parallel Data-Application Server," Aster Data's solution effectively uses Aster Data's patent-pending SQL-MapReduce with parallelized data processing and applications to address the big data challenge.
