5.Azure Machine Learning

This is a huge library of pre-packaged, pre-trained machine learning algorithms. It also provides an environment for consuming these algorithms and applying them to real-world tasks

6.Azure Stream Analytics

Azure Stream Analytics lets you build an end-to-end pipeline for streaming events. It is based on serverless technology. Stream Analytics lets you define an analytics pipeline for streaming data, with data processing defined using SQL syntax, and go-to production in minutes

7.Data Lake Analytics

Azure Data Lake Analytics lets you develop data transformation programs using a variety of languages including U-SQL (a special language provided by Microsoft that combines the benefits of SQL and C#), Python, .NET, and R. It can process petabytes of data.

8.Azure Analysis Services

Azure Analysis Services can be set up using the Azure Resource Manager, which combines data from multiple sources and creates one trusted semantic model. It allows you to develop high-performance BI solutions with secured access and fast time to delivery.
