The standard process encompasses extracting data from source systems, transforming them into an analytical form, and finally loading it onto purpose-built data warehouses. After that, you create semantic data models, reports and dashboards using the data warehouse. One of the biggest issues when implementing such a system is the provisioning infrastructure. The configuration of servers and licensing complexities often distract and impede the actual implementation. For instance, it is difficult to estimate the optimal server configuration upfront. So, we over-provision and end up paying far too much. When budgets are low, we under-provision, but the solution eventually grows, and we end up facing performance problems. Azure makes provisioning infrastructure and a lot of other things much easier. It allows us to start an analytics solution as a pilot, provisioning only the infrastructure we assume we need, and then scale as more compute and storage is needed. This way we only pay for what we use, just like we do with regular utilities. When the solution grows, scaling up is a flick of a switch or a drag of a slider and takes just a few minutes. What’s more is that Azure provides a plethora of data services that can be used for any type of analytics, from self-service business intelligence to artificial intelligence, and not just traditional business intelligence that is mentioned above. All we have to do is choose the best fit for the customer requirements in terms of solution, infrastructure and technology services. The other best part is that these services keep getting better, and updates are automatic and free in many cases. The bottom line is that we can focus on delivering analytical solutions that matter to our customers without distractions and the least impediments.

In a technology-driven world, developers are at the heart of your company’s future innovation endeavors. Developers have more power than ever before with the power of the cloud at their fingertips. As a developer, it is important that you need to speed your application development by using a broad set of cloud-first development tools that make it easier to configure, build and deploy applications that scale. Microsoft has been the number one open-source contributor on GitHub for several years in a row that also means Azure not only runs open source technology, but Microsoft engineers are working with the community to ensure open-source software runs best on Azure. As a developer, you can take advantage of the open cloud by using different standalone tools, choose from a variety of language SDKs to reuse your existing code and skills across platforms. Also, it offers flexibility to run the application on any language hosted in azure data October 2019 Microsoft Influencer centers, on-premises or in hybrid environments. Azure’s data Sajeetharan Sinnathurai platform has the intelligence built-in, making it easy for the Cloud Solution Architect, APAC OCP developers to build applications like human-like cognition and Microsoft enables developers to innovate continuously to meet customer needs by offering a full end-to-end DevOps capability. With a free credit of US $200, developers can easily provision up to 14 VMS, 40 SQL databases and do many more. As an open-source contributor and a full stack developer, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Visual studio integration with Azure which makes it easier to code, build, deploy and debug large scale applications. Let Azure be the cloud that developers love. 9 BARGAINS Trident CSP and Microsoft are happy to announce that the discount for Office 365 Business Essential and Business Premium has been extended.
