Data driven insights with SQL Server BDC and OpenShift Kubernetes Platform

We want to invite you to participate in the FREE ODSC Webinar “Data driven insights with SQL Server Big Data Clusters and OpenShift Kubernetes Platform”!

Big Data Clusters (BDC) is a new set of capabilities introduced in SQL Server 2019 to help achieve data driven business insights from the high-value relational data, and high-volume big data. With BDC, organizations can run containerized Apache Spark and Hadoop Data File System (HDFS) natively as part of SQL Server 2019, in addition to running relational databases, Microsoft Machine Learning capabilities, and Polybase data virtualization. BDC requires Linux containers and Kubernetes, and recently Red Hat OpenShift was added as a commercially supported Kubernetes platform for BDC. OpenShift helps achieve the desired agility, consistency, flexibility, scalability, portability, etc. for data science and application development workflows.

In this session, you will learn about the data analytics market, BDC and OpenShift architecture, key capabilities, use cases, joint value proposition, and technical resources to get you up to speed.

Date: August 5
Time: 1 pm - 2 pm EDT
