Datallegro makes high-performance data warehouse appliances, and its technology will be used to enhance Microsoft's BI offerings. Microsoft plans to integrate the new hardware and software with its data management functionality SQL Server.

“The addition of the Datallegro team and its technology will take our data platform to the highest scale of data warehousing,” said Ted Kummert, Microsoft Data and Storage Platform Division vice president.
