SQL Server and “Big Data”
‘Big Data’ is the current rage of a catchphrase dominating
discussions amongst data developers. You are handling ‘Big Data’, or you are
preparing to handle ‘Big Data’. But what does it mean? How is it different from
just “plain ol’ data”, and why are we concerned about it being ‘Big’? Are there
some aspects of ‘Big Data’ that should be stored in a relational database
system? And what ‘Big Data’ can be stored in alternative storage systems?
Arnie will discuss how several new features position SQL
Server to securely and reliably handle increasingly large amounts of
non-structured data. Features such as SPARSE Column, filtered Indexes,
Columnstore, and Azure databases enable SQL Server to scale and accommodate
diverse development needs, including the need to store ‘Big Data’.
