Azure products

HDInsight

Azure HDInsight is a Hadoop-based service that brings an Apache Hadoop solution to the cloud. Gain the full value of big data with a cloud-based data platform that manages data of any type and size.

Stream Analytics

Azure Stream Analytics is an event-processing engine that helps you gain insights from devices, sensors, cloud infrastructure, and existing data properties in real-time. It's integrated out of the box with Event Hubs, and the combined solution can both ingest millions of events and do analytics to help you better understand patterns, power a dashboard, detect anomalies, or kick off an action while data is being streamed in real time.

Azure Bot Service

Azure Bot Service enables rapid intelligent bot development, bringing together the power of the Microsoft Bot Framework and Azure Functions. Build, connect, deploy and manage intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking. Allow your bots to scale based on-demand and you pay only for the resources you consume.

Data Lake Analytics

The Data Lake analytics service is a new distributed analytics service built on Apache YARN that dynamically scales so you can focus on your business goals, not on distributed infrastructure. Instead of deploying, configuring and tuning hardware, you write queries to transform your data and extract valuable insights. The analytics service can handle jobs of any scale instantly by simply setting the dial for how much power you need. You only pay for your job when it is running making it cost-effective. The analytics service supports Azure Active Directory letting you simply manage access and roles, integrated with your on-premises identity system. It also includes U-SQL, a language that unifies the benefits of SQL with the expressive power of user code. U-SQL’s scalable distributed runtime enables you to efficiently analyze data in the store and across SQL Servers in Azure, Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse.

Data Lake Store

The Data Lake store provides a single repository where you can capture data of any size type and speed simply without forcing changes to your application as the data scales. In the store, data can be shared for collaboration with enterprise-grade security. It is also designed for high-performance processing and analytics from HDFS applications (ie. Azure HDInsight, Data Lake analytics service, Hortonworks, Cloudera, MapR) and tools, including support for low latency workloads. For example, data can be ingested in real-time from sensors and devices for IoT solutions, or from online shopping websites into the store without the restriction of fixed limits on account or file size unlike current offerings in the market.

Data Factory V1

Azure Data Factory is a managed service that lets you produce trusted information from raw data in cloud or on-premises sources. Easily create, orchestrate, and schedule highly-available, fault-tolerant work flows of data movement and transformation activities. Monitor service health and all of your data pipelines at a glance with a rich visual experience offered through the Azure portal.

Power BI Embedded

Power BI Embedded provides stunning, fully interactive data visualizations in your customer-facing apps without the time and expense of having to build it from the ground up.

Data Catalog

Azure Data Catalog is a fully managed service that serves as a system of registration and system of discovery for enterprise data sources. It lets users—from analysts to data scientists to developers—register, discover, understand, and consume data sources. Use crowdsourced annotations and metadata to capture tribal knowledge within your organization, shine light on hidden data, and get more value from your enterprise data sources.

Log Analytics

Azure Log Analytics lets you collect, correlate and visualize all your machine data, such as event logs, network logs, performance data, and much more, from both your on-premises and cloud assets.

Event Hubs

Azure Event Hubs enables elastic-scale telemetry and event ingestion with durable buffering and sub-second end-to-end latency for millions of devices and events.

SQL Data Warehouse

Azure SQL Data Warehouse is an elastic data warehouse as a service with enterprise-grade features based on the massively parallel SQL Server processing architecture. It lets you scale data, either on-premises or in our cloud. It’s the first cloud data warehouse that can dynamically grow or shrink, so you pay only for the query performance that you need, when you need it, up to petabyte-scale. SQL Data Warehouse lets you use your existing Transact-SQL (T-SQL) skills to integrate queries across structured and unstructured data. SQL Data Warehouse integrates with our data platform tools, including Azure HDInsight, Machine Learning, and Data Factory and Microsoft Power BI for a complete data-warehousing and business-intelligence solution in the cloud. With SQL Data Warehouse, you choose where to keep your data, either in the cloud or on-premises, based on your performance, security, and scale requirements.
