An analytics platform is configured to provide at least one interface permitting registration of datasets of respective data zones for use in performing distributed computations across a plurality of data processing clusters associated with the respective data zones. The analytics platform is further configured to maintain one or more analytic service libraries each comprising a plurality of analytic services for use in performing the distributed computations, and to initiate execution of a particular subset of the distributed computations, responsive to a corresponding request, using selected ones of the registered datasets and selected ones of the analytic services. The analytics platform allocates to an entity associated with one of more of the selected registered datasets one or more specified credits responsive to successful completion of the particular subset of the distributed computations. The analytic services are illustratively executed on the datasets without the datasets leaving their respective data zones.
