To help clean up its products and align its newly acquired software with its corporate branding, the company has announced R Server, which is the re-branding of Revolution R Enterprise for Hadoop, Linux, and Teradata. In addition to R server, the company has announced R Server Developer Edition, which has all the features of the commercial version, but as a free download.
If you were using Revolution R Open, that product has been re-branded to Microsoft R open and is a free download. Also, If you use the Microsoft Data Science Virtual Machine, this will now come with a per-installed and per-configured version of Microsoft R Server Developer Edition.
The company will also be bringing R Server to the Azure Marketplace in the near future, as well as integrating Revolution’s scalable R distribution into Azure HDInsight and Azure Machine Learning.
Microsoft R Server is designed to be a platform for enterprise class analytics that is scalable and secure. Seeing as the company has been pushing the capabilities of its machine learning and scalability with Azure, Server R fits nicely into the company’s portfolio of enterprise grade applications.
