Last year we announced the support for AMD based SKU for Azure Data Explorer (ADX) and since then our customer are taking advantage of AMD SKUs with hundreds of thousands of vCPUs running analytical workloads across many industries, and we continue to see ADX adoption growing overtime.
These days, companies and governments are flooded with exabytes of time-series, log, and telemetry data, streaming in from IoT devices, applications, and websites, and other sources. This constant stream of near real-time data can be overwhelming and slow. Customers are leveraging Azure Data Explorer clusters to create meaningful connections across various data types and sources. Using Azure Data Explorer's analytical capabilities, customers are improving their business efficiencies, deploying services for vehicle safety, or making the world a safer place by building cybersecurity products.
Azure Data Explorer offers the following capabilities to customers:
Azure Data Explorer is versatile, and it has been used in a variety of scenarios. The most common scenarios include:
We continue to expand the range of potential ADX applications and customer scenarios that you can benefit from.
Azure Data Explorer is also the underlining data platform that is powering several Azure services like Azure Monitor, Microsoft Intune for data centers, services, applications and device management, Azure Advanced Threat Protection, Azure Sentinel and others in the security space, Azure Time Series Insights, Azure IoT Central, the connected vehicles platform in the IoT space, PlayFab for gaming analytics, Dynamics 365 Product Insights in commerce, Office 365 Education Class Insights and so.
Azure Data Explorer and AMD EPYC™ -based VMs
Azure Data Explorer can run on the AMD EPYC™ processor-based Azure Dav4, Eav4, Easv4 and Lsv2 VM-series. AMD-based Azure VMs enable customers to gain higher performance while keeping the costs low. With this performance and efficiency, Azure Data Explorer customers can improve the real-time analysis on large volumes of data streaming from applications, websites, IoT devices, and more.
