A Year in Review - Building a Comprehensive Data Management Program
This document discusses Microsoft Research's efforts to build a centralized data management and processing platform. It provides an overview of big data and its importance to Microsoft. It outlines the vision, principles, goals, and architecture of the platform, which includes Hadoop, GPUs, HPC resources, Azure, and access to datasets like MNIST and Bing data. The platform aims to support research through centralized, compliant data storage and a flexible processing system. It also discusses ensuring data privacy, security, and ethical use of data on the platform.

- 6. Motivation: • Numerous Areasof Research are Driven by Data (Research Need) • Data comes in very different forms from very different sources (Adapting to Change) • Identified need standardized Data Storage and Data Processing resource for MSR (Community) • Many different research groups were processing and storing the same data sets. (Shared Knowledge / Data Sharing) • Some research groups were not aware that so many different types of data was available. (Communication / Collaboration) Microsoft Research’s Centralized Data Management and Data Processing Platform RESEARCH DATA (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL) Adapting to Change Community Collaboration Shared Knowledge Data Sharing Research Need
- 7. Guiding Principles: • Secureand Compliant (e.g. Data Security, Privacy and Ethics) • World-wide Access (equal opportunity for access and use given to all MSR labs) • Created through Partnerships with teams throughout Microsoft • Driven by Researcher Needs and Requirements (e.g. Tools, Hardware, Software, Datasets) • Flexibility Microsoft Research’s Centralized Data Management and Data Processing Platform RESEARCH DATA (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL) Security Driven by Researcher Needs Research and Product Team Partnerships Global Access Compliance Ethics
