SQL Server v.Next - Data, analytics and artificial intelligence live event - April 19th, 2017

By
The IT landscape is changing every day. Nowadays it is more usual than ever to talk about data collecting, processing and visualization. If a few years ago we use to talk in TB of data, now PB is a normal data unit.
I remember than 10 years ago having a database that was bigger than 1GB it was acceptable, but not very common for small or medium company size. If we are looking now around us, a database of 20GB is a commodity. Anyone will think the database is to big or you need special hardware for it.
Security became now the biggest concern, where you persist data, what data you persist, who access what data are the questions that you need to face up.
5 years ago if you would say that you want to run SQL Server on Linux... it would be a joke, but look where we are not. We have SQL Server on Linux, we have containers, Docker and we see how Microsoft embrace the open source word.
We are exited to find out more about new features that SQL v.Next is preparing to us. It's not only about Linux support, this is just a small part. Features like:

  • In-memory OLTP
  • Columnstore
  • Always Encrypted
  • Transparent Data Encryption
  • Row-Level Security
  • Dynamic Data Masking

are the big things that are coming.

If you want to find more about this you can join the live event that will take place on April 19th. If you are from Cluj-Napoca, please join our meet-up event to find out what future is reserving to us.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...
