7. Increase performance for
data virtualisation
Scale-out data pools combineand cachedata from
many sourcesfor fast querying
Scenario
• A global car manufacturing company wants to
join data from across multiple sources including
HDFS, SQL Server and Cosmos DB
Solution
• Query data in relational and non-relational data
stores with new PolyBase connectors
• Create a scale out data pool caches of combined
data
• Expose the datasets as a shared data source,
without writing code to move and integrate
data

8. Easily deploy and manage a
SQL Server + Big Data
cluster
Easily deploy and manage a Big Data cluster using
Microsoft’s Kubernetes-based Big Data solution
built-in to SQL Server.
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS storage, SQL
Server relational engine and Spark analytics are
deployed as containers on Kubernetes in one easy-
to-manage package.

9. Simplified deployment with
containers & Kubernetes
A container is a standardised unit of software that
includes everything needed to run it
Kubernetes is a container hosting platform
Benefits of containers and Kubernetes:
1. Fast to deploy
2. Self-contained – no installation required
3. Upgrades are easy because – just upload a new
image
4. Scalable, multi-tenant, designed for elasticity
5. Provides abstraction layer so you can run
anywhere

10. Increase analytics and apps
performance

11. Azure Data Studio provides a unified tool for
querying data using a notebook experience for
both T-SQL and Spark.
Easily access all your data across SQL Server and
HDFS.
The cluster administration portal provides easy to
use cloud-style managed services for HA
monitoring, backup/recovery, security and
provisioning.
The REST APO and command line tools simplify
automation.
The development and management experience is
consistent regardless of where you run – on prem
or any of the major cloud providers.
