The journey progresses with **Apache Presto**, an integral component of HPE Ezmeral Software that amplifies Presto's capabilities, enabling the connection to and querying of various data sources seamlessly within a unified environment. With Presto, data from different stores can be amalgamated into a single view that you can easily manipulate and analyze. This seamless integration empowers real-time access to insights from data lakes, allowing for federated queries on data without worrying about the underlying complexity of tying each application to each data source individually.
