SQL Server Data Warehouse to Databricks Migration: 4-Wk MVP

WinWire Technologies

Transformative insights at the speed of data with Databricks Data Intelligence Platform

SQL Server Data Warehouse has long been a trusted solution for managing structured data, offering reliability and familiarity for traditional data warehousing needs. However, as data volumes have exploded and the variety of data has grown, SQL Server's architecture struggles to keep pace with modern demands, such as handling semi-structured or unstructured data, scaling for massive datasets, and supporting real-time analytics or advanced AI workloads and agents. Azure Databricks addresses these challenges with a scalable, unified Data Intelligence Platform that integrates data engineering, BI analytics, and AI-ML capabilities. It offers enterprise-grade security, governance, and cost efficiency, seamlessly operating within the Azure ecosystem.
