Language Specialist Meets BI Expert Held together by Girl Geek power this and more with Lynn Langit
What do you get when you cross a Language Geek with BI (Business intelligence) guru and put them in front of a surface? Lynn Langit talks with Geoffrey Emery at The PDC Underground about this and more. The talk of the town at PDC has to be the launch of the azure platform and all the Live Services. Lynn dives into what this all means to to the developer community and how it can help you with the horizontal scale and doing data analysis through BI. One thing that cloud computing brings to the table is that you can bring up as many servers that you need for data analysis. What most people don’t realize yet is that it takes a ton of servers to do long term financial projections. These projections model can take hours and hours to run over a server farm. By putting this kind computational intensive applications in the cloud you can save your self huge amounts of money as these servers usually sit idle during the day and only come on at night to crunch new numbers. This can all be pushed to the cloud so that you can concentrate on the analysis and let the infrastructure cost and worry be hosted.
We then dive into some of the really cool ways to do design of these new modeling paradigms using Microsoft OSLO and how you can all these pieces and put them together on a surface!
