Microsoft Hadoop Grand Vision: Apache Hadoop for Windows Server and Windows Azure
I’m still not sure how many are planning to run a Hadoop cluster on top of Windows Server—I initially had doubts about Hadoop on Azure too, but looking at the bigger picture it starts to make sense—, but Microsoft vision of integrating Hadoop in its toolchain is quite sound. And the slidedeck embedded below offers a glimpse at Microsoft’s perspective on Big Data, data integration, and BI:
-
“Big data is here and Hadoop is center stage”
I know I’ve already said it, but I’m still very impressed Microsoft gets this right.

The Grand vision:
-
Project Isotope offerings:
- Bi-directional connectors between Hadoop and SQL and PWD — see Hadoop Interoperability in Microsoft SQL Server and Parallel Data Warehouse
- ODBC driver for Hadoop
- Hosted elastic Hadoop service on Azure (nb: think Amazon Elastic MapReduce by Microsoft)
- Hive plug-in for Excel
- JavaScript support for Hadoop, with web-based interactive environment
