MICROSOFT in Big Data Security Solutions

Microsoft has maintained its position as a worldwide provider of a diverse set of software and licensing solutions, across numerous verticals. Customer satisfaction has always been its top priority, and thus, it focuses on the development of technologies. The company understands the amount of data that is generated and collected, and the value of this data for their customers, and thus, the company is focusing on enhancing its security solutions for big data over its Azure cloud. Microsoft has efficiently simplified data explosion and the growing variety of data. It has also enabled secured real-time analysis of the data. To serve to the demands of its extensive client base, the company is said to have spent a substantial amount of USD 11.38 billion in its R&D in 2016. Microsoft has been expansively working toward the advancements of big data security solutions and adheres to both organic and inorganic strategies. Lately, the company expanded its Azure cloud in Australia; this would ultimately accelerate the cloud adoption, thus driving the need for big data security over the stored data. Moreover, in May 2016, the company collaborated with SAP SE to provide support for the SAP HANA platform, deployed on Microsoft Azure. With this move, enterprises across all the industries would have the capacity to address mission-critical applications and data investigation on a worldwide scale, with enterprises grade security and compliance.
