Explain Microsoft Azure Platform (MAP) in detail.

 Microsoft Azure Platform (MAP)

  • Microsoft Azure, originally known as Windows Azure, is a public cloud computing platform developed by Microsoft offering solutions such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) that can be used for analytics, virtual computing, storage, networking, and and much more. It offers a variety of cloud services such as computation, analytics, storage, and networking. Users can select among these services to create and grow new applications, as well as run existing apps on the public cloud. It may be used to augment or replace your on-premises servers.
  • The Azure platform is designed to assist organizations in managing difficulties and meeting organizational goals. It provides tools for all industries, including e-commerce, banking, and several Fortune 500 organizations, and is compatible with open-source technology. This gives users the freedom to utilize their favorite tools and technology. Furthermore, Azure provides four types of cloud computing services: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and serverless. Microsoft charges for Azure on a pay-as-you-go basis, which means that users receive a monthly payment that only costs them for the resources they have utilized.
  • Customers that subscribe to Azure get access to all of the services available through the Azure interface. These services enable subscribers to establish cloud-based resources such as virtual machines (VM) and databases. In addition to the services provided by Microsoft through the Azure portal, several third-party companies provide software directly through Azure. The cost of third-party apps varies greatly; however, it may include a subscription charge for the program as well as a use charge for the infrastructure needed to host the program.


Microsoft provides five different customer support options for Azure:

  • Basic
  • Developer
  • Standard
  • Professional Direct
  • Premier

The scope and cost of these customer assistance programs vary. Basic assistance is free for all Azure accounts; however, Microsoft charges a premium for additional support services. Developer support is $29 per month, $100 per month for Standard assistance, and $1000 per month for Professional Direct assistance. Microsoft does not provide price information for Premier support.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

What is national data warehouse? What is census data?

National Data warehouse   A large number of national data warehouses can be identified from the existing data resources within the central government ministries. These are potential subject areas in which data warehouses may be developed at present and in the future. Census Data Census data can help planners and others understand their communities' social, economic, and demographic conditions. Census data is the primary data used by planners to understand the social, economic, and demographic conditions locally and nationally. We sometimes think the census is unique to the United States, but census data is collected in other countries.  The total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data about a specific time to all people in a country or fixed or defined area part of a country. Most countries also include a housing census. A census is a procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given populat
