Track: Big Data Innovations and Integration

Interested in learning more about big data? New to self-service data modeling with PowerPivot, and interested in understanding what is new for PowerPivot and data analysis in Excel 2013? This session is for you. This session will describe and demonstrate how to create a big data analytics solution with structured data by using Windows Azure HDInsight, Excel 2013, and Office 365.
The first demonstration will show how to create a big data solution by provisioning an Apache Hadoop cluster in the cloud with Windows Azure HDInsight. The next demonstration will create a PowerPivot data model to integrate a big data query result with on-premise data. We’ll then analyze and report on the data by using Power View. Finally, we’ll complete the loop, publishing the PowerPivot workbook back to the cloud with Office 365.
