Analyzing big data is a challenge, requiring lots of processing power and storage. With its high capacity and potential for parallel processing, Cloud Computing offers an ideal platform to tackle this problem. HD Insight on Microsoft Azure deploys Hadoop and other open source big data tools to the cloud, making it easier to take advantage of this platform. In this session, you will learn what tools are available in HD Insight and how to use them to store, process, and analyze very large sets of data.
