Title: Real-Time Analytics with Power BI
Abstract: Power BI helps you build appealing visualizations of your data. With ever growing footprint of data it is equally important to get real-time insights into your data. It can be as simple as monitoring a single metric or viewing real-time sales performance across multiple locations. Power BI real-time streaming enables you to stream data and update dashboards in real-time. Any time sensitive data can be a source of streaming data set like IoT sensor devices, social media sources, service usage metrics etc.
In this session
- I will dive deep into real-time analytics with Power BI.
- How to build streaming tiles in Power BI Dashboards.
- Demo using Power BI REST APIs.
- Demo using Azure Event Hub and Azure Stream Analytics.

Title: Graph Databases with Azure Cosmos DB
Abstract: Graph Database technology is one of the fastest growing fields of database design and evelopment.
In SQL Server 2017 a new option to process Graph Data within the database engine was added. This was based around the Cypher Query language from Neo4J
At the same time a Graph Data API was added to Azure Cosmos DB (Microsoft’s Globally Distributed Mult-Model cloud databse) This was built around the Apache TinkerPop graph traversal language, Gremlin
In this Session we will briefly look at use cases for Graph Database and then investigate how these have been implemented in Azure Cosmos DB.
This session is aimed at any developer/architect/DBA that is looking to understand Graph Database and how they have been implemented inside Microsoft’s new Cloud based NoSQL database.

Title: Accelerating and modernizing data integration with Azure Data Factory
Abstract: Integration Services (aka SSIS) has been serving us for years for building enterprise data integration solutions, not only for data warehousing but for all types of data integrations between heterogenous data sources. SSIS is not retiring but it is high time to check out its new neighbor; Azure Data Factory, fully managed ETL service in the cloud. Let me show you how we can use Azure Data Factory for implementing modern data integrations for on-premise and cloud sources with various type of transformations available including Azure services such as Azure Data Lake Analytics, HDInsight and Machine Learning.

Title: MS BI + AI experiences: Using PBI, Azure AML across industries
Abstract: Use case in presentation is from discrete manufacturing (part 2)/ higher education industries, with following summary:
-
The relative ease with which Power BI and SQL Azure can be used and integrated to design and simulate performance of machine elements
-
Power BI and SQL Azure can be used to replace “design handbooks” which typically are paper based or static on a SharePoint – now these can be made “live” by leverage Power BI and SQL Azure
-
Output from physical tests of designs can be analyzed using ML to validate relationships and can be used to predict actual performance

Title: Tune Like a Guru - The Big Three!
Abstract: EVERY client I engage with is taught to RUN 3 SCRIPTS IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT THOUGHT AND WITHOUT DELAY as soon as a performance problem is noted. I am exceptionally good at performance tuning and forensics, but I (nor anyone else out there) cannot get at the root cause of a problem without information about the occurrence. These scripts will give you said information (which is very often transient in nature)! I could be putting myself out of work teaching stuff like this! :-D

Track and Room: Track 2 - L21-MPR02
Title: Trend Analysis of SQL Server Logs using Powershell!
Abstract: DBAs regularly need to keep an eye on the error logs of all their SQL Servers.When server numbers get large, it becomes very difficult to manage them. If you don’t maintaining the error logs, SQL Server will recycle the log and you are going to loose the valuable information. In this session, you will learn how to automatically parse the errors from multiple SQL error logs using PowerShell, store the data in a central location database, and create reports to visualize the information using PowerBI or Splunk.
