In this white paper, we expand on the information that is available from Microsoft and the SQL Server Big Data Cluster ecosystem by providing insights into each layer of the architecture and describing how the architecture can be applied to common customer use cases. In addition, we explore the intersection of SQL Server Big Data Clusters and PolyBase to support big data and connect your data sphere. The use case in this white paper is designed to show how developers and data scientists can easily support a Big Data Cluster ecosystem with PowerFlex, VMware, Docker, and Kubernetes. We also describe how using the Dell EMC CSI plug-in for PowerFlex systems enables comprehensive automation and orchestration for coordination of server and storage systems for implementing this software-defined Infrastructure configuration.
