I recently made available two more presentations that you might find helpful.  Feel free to download them and present them to others (adding a line that you got them from me is all I ask).  There is a full list of all my presentations with slide decks here.  I continually update all my decks, but unfortunately SlideShare no longer allows you to update decks, so just email me at jamesserra3@gmail.com if you want the latest one.

Azure data platform overview

Want to see a high-level overview of the products in the Microsoft data platform portfolio in Azure? I’ll cover products in the categories of OLTP, OLAP, data warehouse, storage, data transport, data prep, data lake, IaaS, PaaS, SMP/MPP, NoSQL, Hadoop, open source, reporting, machine learning, and AI. It’s a lot to digest but I’ll categorize the products and discuss their use cases to help you narrow down the best products for the solution you want to build. (slides)

Machine Learning and AI

The breath and depth of Azure products that fall under the AI and ML umbrella can be difficult to follow. In this presentation I’ll first define exactly what AI, ML, and deep learning is, and then go over the various Microsoft AI and ML products and their use cases. (slides)
