Maximize Presto with Fast SQL-Based Connectivity

Presto is a high-performance distributed SQL engine built for federated queries, but without the right connector, it’s difficult to integrate with BI tools, data platforms, applications, and SQL-based workflows.

The Simba Presto ODBC and JDBC Drivers solve this challenge with seamless, high-speed connectivity that makes Presto data usable where it counts.

Bring Presto to BI, SQL, and Data Platforms

Simba Drivers let you run SQL queries against distributed data sources in Presto using familiar tools like Power BI, Tableau, Excel, QlikView, Logi Symphony, and more.

With the Simba Presto ODBC driver and Presto JDBC driver, Presto becomes easier to use, faster to query, and fully equipped to meet the demands of modern analytics.

Why Choose Simba?

With Simba, Presto becomes easier to use, faster to query, and ready for analytics, data integration, and cross-platform SQL access.

Overcoming Presto Integration Challenges with Simba

Automation Blue

Presto Adoption Is Blocked by Integration Friction

Presto’s power lies in federated SQL, but without smooth integration, teams rely on workarounds that limit adoption.

Simba provides reliable connectivity so Presto data flows into tools your teams already use—without added complexity.

Automation & Data Management Blue

Query Speed Suffers Without Pushdown Optimization

Without native optimization, BI and analytics tools can overload Presto with inefficient SQL queries.

Simba enables intelligent pushdown so filters, joins, and aggregations run directly inside Presto for better performance.

No Code Blue

Diverse Data Sources Create Schema Challenges

Presto connects many sources—but messy schemas, missing metadata, and JSON structures create reporting problems.

Simba simplifies this by auto-mapping and flattening schemas so users can query clean, structured data via SQL.

Unlock Presto’s Power in BI and Analytics Workflows

Seamless Connectivity for SQL-Based Tools

Simba connects Presto to Power BI, Tableau, Excel, and more—plus integration tools and custom apps—without custom coding or workarounds.

Get direct SQL access to distributed data using tools your teams already rely on, from dashboards to pipelines.

Optimized Query Pushdown for Better Performance

Simba reduces data movement by pushing filters, joins, and aggregations into Presto for faster execution.

Workloads run where the data lives, improving speed, scalability, and efficiency across your data infrastructure.

Federated SQL Access Made Simple

Presto connects to many sources, but messy schemas create friction. Simba maps them into clean, queryable structures.

Teams can explore distributed data using familiar SQL, without restructuring sources or building custom views.
