Azure Databricks & Azure Data Warehouse Webinar

Recorded April 2019

The foundation of any Cloud Scale Analytics platform must be based upon the ability to store and analyze data that may stretch traditional limits along any of the conventional “3 ‘V’s of Big Data: (Volume, Variety, Velocity), but realistically, must also provide a solid fourth V - Value. Together, Azure Databricks and Azure SQL DW provide the most powerful 1-2 punch in the market across all four Vs, and in this webinar, we’ll take a look at how the Azure platform provides a compelling, best-in-class toolset for data storage, analysis, orchestration, security, and AI!

Learn about leveraging Microsoft Azure for your Modern Data Platform in the recorded session below. We’ll review why the availability of skillsets, ease of deployment, and complementary features of the platform deliver the best foundation for your Cloud-Scale Analytics; and then we’ll look at the data visualization and AI opportunities that light up when you take advantage of Microsoft Azure.
