During an event in San Francisco today, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced the launch of SQL Server 2014, a public preview of the Microsoft Azure Intelligent Systems Service, and the general availability of the Analytics Platform System (APS). Microsoft stressed the importance of a data culture during the event, a culture that encourages curiosity, action, and experimentation.

“The era of ambient intelligence has begun, and we are delivering a platform that allows companies of any size to create a data culture and ensure insights reach every individual in every organization,” Nadella said during the event. Microsoft’s data platform includes new “Internet of Things” capabilities and provides the necessary building blocks to connect, refine, and analyze data. Here are the products announced during the event:

SQL Server 2014 brings in-memory capabilities across all data workloads, offering breakthrough performance for applications in throughput and latency. In-memory technology allows for the manipulation of millions of records at the speed of thought, as well as the ability to scale analytics solutions to billions of records in SQL Server Analysis Services.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
