Gartner\u2019s annual Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit<\/span><\/a> kicked off earlier today where we are focused on sharing our perspective and solutions with customers, partners and industry leaders interested in <\/span>big data<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>business intelligence<\/span><\/a>. Later this week, we\u2019ll also be at the <\/span>GigaOM Structure<\/span> event. While we\u2019re out attending all these <\/span>industry events<\/span><\/a>, our engineering efforts have been moving at light speed. I\u2019d like to highlight two efforts from our engineering team that have now come to fruition. <\/span><\/p>\n New HDInsight Service Preview<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Customers like <\/span>Microsoft\u2019s own 343 Industries<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>UK-based Microsoft partner Ascribe<\/span><\/a> have been early adopters of HDInsight Service and are enjoying the benefits of big data insights at cloud speed and scale. Their feedback, and the feedback of all those who participated in the private preview was invaluable \u2013 thank you! Based on their participation we are able to deliver a rock solid and high performance service. We are excited to offer this preview broadly to everyone and look forward to hearing your feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n Working with the Hadoop Community <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Second, we\u2019ve also been working with Hortonworks as part of our commitment to accelerating enterprise adoption of Hadoop by offering a solution that is open and fully compatible for the long run with Apache Hadoop. As part of that I am excited to share that last week <\/span>Hortonworks reported<\/span><\/a> that the <\/span>Hadoop community voted<\/span><\/a> to move Hadoop on Windows to the main Apache Hadoop trunk. The engineering team at Microsoft and Hortonworks in collaboration with the Hadoop community made a number of <\/span>enhancements to the Windows Server and Windows Azure Hadoop development and runtime environments<\/span><\/a> which were merged into the Apache trunk. All of these enhancements are also incorporated into our Windows Azure HDInsight Service and <\/span>HDInsight Server<\/span><\/a> products and in Hortonworks\u2019 <\/span>HDP for Windows<\/span><\/a> product. <\/span><\/p>\n Moving Hadoop on Windows to the main Apache Hadoop trunk and our continued investment in the Hadoop project is important to us. It means that when our customers choose to use our HDInsight products, they can do so with the confidence of knowing they are 100 percent Apache Hadoop compatible now and in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n Stop by and See us at Gartner BI <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Big data holds great promise \u2013 for companies and for the world. We\u2019re excited about the progress we\u2019re making with our products, and the community, to help customers realize that promise and we\u2019ll have more to share over the next few months.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re attending the Gartner BI Summit, visit our booth to meet our business intelligence experts and enter to win an Xbox 360 with Kinect. Also, don\u2019t miss Herain Oberoi and Marc Reguera\u2019s session on the new self-service BI capabilities in Excel 2013 on Tuesday at 3:15PM, and a chance to win a Surface with Windows RT. If you\u2019re attending GigaOM Structure, be sure to stop by our booth hear more about our approach to big data. For those not attending these events, follow us on <\/span>Facebook<\/a> and Twitter @microsoftbi<\/a><\/span> to get the latest on Microsoft at the Summit.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Eron Kelly<\/span> Gartner\u2019s annual Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit kicked off earlier today where we are focused on sharing our perspective and solutions with customers, partners and industry leaders interested in big data and business intelligence.

<\/a>First, I\u2019m excited to announce that a preview of the <\/span>Windows Azure HDInsight Service<\/span><\/a> — our cloud-based distribution of Hadoop \u2013 is broadly available through the Windows Azure Portal. The Windows Azure HDInsight Service is built on the Hortonworks Data Platform to ensure long term compatibility with <\/span>Apache Hadoop<\/span><\/a>, while providing customers with the low cost and elasticity of cloud computing. Starting today, customers can perform Hadoop-based big data analysis in the cloud through the Windows Azure Portal, paying only for the storage and compute capacity that they use. The preview will enable customers to deploy permanent clusters with up to 40 nodes.<\/span><\/p>\n
