During last year's #Strata + #Hadoop World conference, #Microsoft embraced #Linux in its push to lure enterprises onto its growing portfolio of cloud-based big data offerings.
This year, Microsoft is banking on extensive support for R, the statistical computing language that's popular among data scientists and developers for big data application integration and self-service data discovery.
Microsoft announced on March 29 a preview version of R Server for Azure HDInsight, Microsoft cloud-based distribution of the Hadoop big data processing platform. After last year's acquisition of Revolution Analytics, the leading commercial sponsor for the open-source R language, Microsoft R Server has effectively replaced Revolution R Enterprise.
