In her talk at Garter, MySpace’s VP of Data, Hala Al-Adwan, described in detail how Aster delivers business value to both internal and external users, including finance, marketing, product management, and the record labels associated with MySpace Music. This talk was recorded and will be available through Gartner, so viewers can see what she actually said.

I was excited to read this at first, so I attended the case study presentation from Asterdata at the Gartner conference on BI in DC where I work.

The head of the project at Myspace talked about the project with Aster, but she had a different, not very good story to tell. The odd thing was that she seemed not all that unhappy with the actual technology, but confessed that there were “no business users running queries” and when questioned, said “next time we should talk to the business users before we build a warehouse”. She thought that maybe connecting Microsoft to the warehouse would help, but Aster doesn’t have connections for it yet.

The Myspace project looks a lot like a tekkie group of IT people playing with cluster technology, not like an operational system at all. Someone at the conference was also saying that Aster can’t even do more than two tables in a join or subqueries. I want to know if there is anyone using Asterdata for real work.
