Video - Implementing SSAS in Azure

We will look at the IaaS structures and the configurations that will best support each model type. The focus on the session is to look at taking advantage of Azure strengths such as elastic scale and how it can help handle SSAS workloads. As with any cloud solution there are situations which must be handled differently such as security and storage. These will be discussed as well.
