Connectors to Microsoft Azure HDInsight,
Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Azure Cosmos DB Now Available for
MicroStrategy Customers
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide
provider of enterprise analytics and mobility software, announced
the availability of three new gateways with its MicroStrategy
10.11™ release that will enable MicroStrategy users to easily
visualize, analyze and distribute data using Microsoft Azure. Built
in collaboration with Microsoft, these gateways establish
integrations and workflows between the MicroStrategy 10™ platform
and Azure data and analytics services. This announcement expands on
MicroStrategy’s existing integrations with other Microsoft
solutions, including Azure IoT, Machine Learning and Power BI.
“Many of MicroStrategy’s customers are on the journey to a cloud
or hybrid cloud infrastructure for data analytics and BI. We're
deeply committed to ensuring that our customers and partners who
rely on Azure services can leverage MicroStrategy to modernize
their cloud strategies,” said Tim Lang, Senior Executive Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer, MicroStrategy Incorporated.
“Building gateways to Azure data stores demonstrates
MicroStrategy’s commitment to extending our open, powerful and
comprehensive analytics platform into the broader enterprise
ecosystem.”
With organizations quickly transitioning their data strategies
from existing on-premises deployments to the cloud, the new
integrations with MicroStrategy deliver more options to the world’s
leading cloud storage systems, allowing them to build powerful
cloud-based analytics and mobility applications. MicroStrategy
provides the flexibility to pick and choose the best data storage
engine or compliment it with other processing engines. The complete
breadth of these Azure services helps MicroStrategy customers to
dynamically scale, deploy faster and build affordable
cost-effective applications.
The three new optimized gateways for Microsoft Azure services
include Azure HDInsight, SQL Data Warehouse, and Cosmos DB. With
MicroStrategy 10.11, these connectors are available out-of-the-box
on MicroStrategy Web™ and MicroStrategy Desktop™ for Windows.
Microsoft Azure HDInsight: Azure HDInsight is a
fully-managed cloud service that makes it easy, fast, and
cost-effective to process massive amounts of data. MicroStrategy’s
connector to the service enables MicroStrategy Web and
MicroStrategy Desktop based connectivity workflows for Azure
HDInsight through the MicroStrategy ODBC Driver for Hive.
Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse: Azure SQL Data
Warehouse is a cloud-based Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) that
leverages Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) to quickly run
complex queries across petabytes of data. MicroStrategy’s connector
enables MicroStrategy Web and MicroStrategy Desktop based
connectivity workflows and enhances the Relational Engine with
support for Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB: Azure Cosmos DB is a globally
distributed, multi-model database that enables users to manage data
at planet-scale. MicroStrategy’s connector enables MicroStrategy
Web and MicroStrategy Desktop based connectivity workflows and
enhances the Relational Engine with support for Azure Cosmos
DB.
“Enterprises today are more focused than ever on leveraging all
available assets and critical information to build a smarter, more
efficient business,” said John ‘JG’ Chirapurath, general manager of
Data Platform Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “The new connectors
between Azure and MicroStrategy 10 will help to meet the data
discovery and analytical demands of our joint customers by
providing them easy access to the latest and fastest enterprise
technology.”
