Azure Synapse Analytics: Limitless analytics service with unmatched time to insight

In this modern world of AI, it has never been more important for companies to treat their data as a strategic asset. This strategic asset keeps growing exponentially giving organizations a fantastic opportunity to harness and gain invaluable insights.

Statista estimates that global data volume reached 60 zettabytes (60 trillion gigabytes) in 2020 and could hit 150 zettabytes by 2024.

This growth presents a dual challenge of storage and leverage – problems that can be addressed by the right technology. So, let me introduce Azure Synapse Analytics including Azure Synapse Analytics Workspace, a limitless analytics service that combines data integration, enterprise data warehousing, and big data analytics. It is a powerhouse of actionable information, allowing organizations to explore their data at scale as they see fit, through serverless or dedicated resources.

Azure Synapse Analytics delivers a rich, unified experience that allows enterprises to ingest, explore, prepare, manage, and serve data for immediate business intelligence and machine learning applications. Data is the engine of innovation. And for a region with a history of early adoption and the leverage of data to overcome challenges, Azure Synapse Analytics is the ideal tool to enhance their competitiveness. In the past year alone, seemingly insurmountable hurdles have been cleared by the agile use of data. Digital transformation – that ability to engage, empower, optimize, and reinvent – begins and ends with data.

Azure Synapse Analytics combines the power of enterprise data warehousing with big data analytics and data integration to enable businesses to overcome the dual problem of storage and leverage. They can take deep dives into their own data to become knowledge-based entities capable of moving with their market as needed. Azure Synapse Analytics also conforms to regulatory requirements on data residency, further easing migration to new business paradigms governed by rich intelligence.
