Microsoft Azure is rapidly evolving, which offers rich opportunities for collaborations with Microsoft Research to explore improvements to cloud performance, cost, security, scale and reliability. In this talk, Mark provides an overview of Azure’s datacenter design and infrastructure software architecture, covering compute, networking and storage. He will highlight some of the many joint Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Research projects, including underwater datacenters, accelerated software defined networking, efficient datacenter resource utilization, storing data in DNA, and more.
The Berkeley Distinguished Lectures in Data Science, co-hosted by the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) and the Berkeley Division of Data Sciences, is offered to engage our diverse campus community and enrich active connections among colleagues. All campus community members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
