Patientendaten zentral in der Cloud zu speichern ist zu riskant, meint der Deutsche Ärztetag. Besser sei eine "moderne und dezentrale Punkt-zu-Punkt-Kommunikation im Gesundheitswesen unter höchsten Datenschutzkriterien".

Ed Butowsky, the Dallas wealth manager and Fox News contributor who facilitated a private investigation into the murder of Seth Rich, is friends with and serves on the board of an organization started by White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.
“I consider him a friend and a very nice man,” Butowsky told BuzzFeed News of Bannon.
According to his website, Butowsky “serves as a Board Member for Reclaim New York, a non-partisan, non-profit think tank dedicated to advancing a grassroots conversation about the future of New York.” Per tax filings, Bannon is Reclaim's vice chairman. (The group's secretary and treasurer are Jennifer and Rebekah Mercer, the powerful daughters of right-wing moneyman and Trump champion Robert Mercer.)
In addition to Reclaim, Butowsky and Bannon know each other through Breitbart News, of which Bannon was executive chairman and to which Butowsky has contributed articles. In 2015, Bannon interviewed Butowsky for a Breitbart radio program.
Both Butowsky and a White House official deny speaking about Seth Rich.
Over the past week the Rich story has captivated conservative media, following a Fox News report that linked the murder of the 27-year-old Democratic National Committee Staff member with email hacks of the DNC that may have helped then-candidate Trump in his campaign against Hillary Clinton. Such a finding would contradict the view, widely held in the intelligence community, that Russian intelligence was behind the theft — a key point for those who believe there was an improper relationship between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Fox's report — a conspiracy theory with no corroborating evidence — was based on an interview with a private investigator, Rod Wheeler, who Butowsky introduced to the Rich family and offered to pay for. (Fox News yesterday retracted its story.) The Rich-as-leaker narrative's rise is the clearest example yet of the way an insurgent pro-Trump media has been able to push dubious stories beneficial to the administration into the limelight.
And the news that their benefactor has ties to a key figure in the administration — and the godfather of the pro-Trump media — has left the Rich family stunned.
“The family is in shock to learn that Ed Butowsky is both friends with and served on a board with Steve Bannon,” Brad Bauman, a spokesman for the Rich family, told BuzzFeed News Wednesday. “We are very much trying not to rush to judgment in order to allow this story to develop.”
Bannon declined to comment for the story.
Butowsky has long said that he heard about the Rich case from a friend, though he can't remember whom, and that he was motivated to connect the Rich family with Wheeler because he was moved by their story.
In an interview Tuesday outside Del Frisco's Steakhouse in Manhattan, where he was feeding pigeons, Butowsky told BuzzFeed News that he had never discussed the Rich case with Bannon, and qualified their friendship as warm but not close.
“It's not like I have a Steve Bannon teddy bear,” he said. “I've never eaten a meal with the guy.”
A photograph on Butowsky's Facebook page shows him in the White House briefing room on March 22. Butowsky did not comment on the record why he was at the White House, but did clarify that he had not met with any White House officials.
Butowsky added that his association with Reclaim was distant and purely based on his wealth management expertise.
“Am I really on the board?” Butowsky asked when informed that his website claimed he was on the board. “I've never been to a board meeting.”
Prior to his career as a wealth manager — his clients include a number of athletes and celebrities — Butowsky worked for nearly two decades at Morgan Stanley, where, according to his LinkedIn, he ran one of the highest earning teams at the firm.

In April we announced the general availability of Azure Analysis Services, which evolved from the proven analytics engine in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services. The success of any modern data-driven organization requires that information is available at the fingertips of every business user, not just IT professionals and data scientists, to guide their day-to-day decisions. Self-service BI tools have made huge strides in making data accessible to business users. However, most business users don’t have the expertise or desire to do the heavy lifting that is typically required, including finding the right sources of data, importing the raw data, transforming it into the right shape, and adding business logic and metrics, before they can explore the data to derive insights. With Azure Analysis Services, a BI professional can create a semantic model over the raw data and share it with business users so that all they need to do is connect to the model from any BI tool and immediately explore the data and gain insights. Azure Analysis Services uses a highly optimized in-memory engine to provide responses to user queries at the speed of thought.
Today we are introducing two new SKU sizes, the S8 and S9 allowing you to build data models up to 400 GB in size.
The S8 offers up to 200 GB of cache with 320 QPUs, while the S9 offers up to 400 GB of cache and 640 QPUs. The cache sizes refer to the size of the memory to hold data in after it has been compressed. You do need to reserve some cache for processing and querying. A Query Processing Unit (QPU) in Azure Analysis Services is a unit of measure for relative computational performance for query and data processing. As a rule of thumb, one virtual core approximates to roughly 20 QPUs, although the exact performance depends on the underlying hardware and the generation of hardware used.
The new S8 and S9 SKUs are currently only available in the East US 2 and West Europe datacenters. To learn more about pricing for S8 and S9, please visit our pricing page.
New to Azure Analysis Services? Find out how you can try Azure Analysis Services or learn how to create your first data model.
