Microsoft announced some major new developments surrounding its cloud-based big data processing capabilities in advance of AzureCon, a free virtual event that kicks off Sept. 29.

"The Data Lake Store provides a single repository where you can easily capture data of any size, type and speed without forcing changes to your application as data scales," stated Rengarajan in a Sept. 28 announcement. "In the store, data can be securely shared for collaboration and is accessible for processing and analytics from HDFS [Hadoop Distributed File System] applications and tools."

Well, with all the data Windows 10 is collecting, MS should have some experience in storing and processing it.
