We then got into an informative discussion around important issues within the greater community to think about and suggest ways to take action. So ... Read More
Power BI as a enterprise data warehouse solution?
Feed: James Serra's Blog. Author: James Serra. With Power BI continuing to get many great new features, including the latest in Datamarts (see my blog Power BI Datamarts), I’m starting to hear customers ask “Can I just build my entire enterprise data warehouse solution in Power BI”? In other words, can I just use Power BI and all its built-in features instead of using Azure Data Lake Gen2, Azure Data Factory (ADF), Azure Synapse, Databricks, etc? The short answer is “No”. First off, as far as Datamarts, I do not recommend using this new capability as a compete or replacement ... Read More

Azure Orbital Ground Station as Service extends life and reduces costs for satellite operators

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Stephen Kitay. How can Microsoft empower satellite operators to focus on their mission and enable them to continue the operation of their satellites, without making capital investments in their ground infrastructure? To answer that question, Microsoft worked alongside the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and our partner Xplore, to demonstrate how the commercial cloud can provide satellite mission management for NOAA’s legacy polar satellites (NOAA-18)—extending the mission life of these satellites while reducing the cost of operation through Azure Orbital Ground Station as-a-Service (GSaaS). Partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Xplore ... Read More
Making the World a Better Place with Data
Feed: Cloudera Blog. Author: Carolyn Duby. Posted in Technical | June 23, 2022 3 min read Much of the hype around big data and analytics focuses on business value and bottom-line impacts. Those are enormously important in the private and public sectors alike. But for government agencies, there is a greater mission: improving people’s lives. Data makes the most ambitious and even idealistic goals—like making the world a better place—possible. This is intrinsically worthwhile, but it has now been codified as part of the Federal Data Strategy and its stated mission to “fully leverage the value of federal data for ... Read More

The financial ... Read More
