Topic:

Is Hadoop a SQL Killer?

This presentation will explore what Hadoop looks like in a SQL Server environment and how it may or may not affect your role as a DBA. We'll explore ways in which Hadoop can compliment and enhance your SQL Server environment as well as where Hadoop may potentially replace certain processes.  We'll also discuss how a SQL DBA can leverage existing skill sets to work with Hadoop and how you can acquire additional skills to make you a better DBA and data management professional.
