Data Analysis and Processing
Data scientists, analysts, and researchers can leverage an RDP server to perform data analysis, processing, and modeling tasks. They can install tools and frameworks such as R, Python (with libraries like Pandas and NumPy), MATLAB, or Jupyter Notebooks to manipulate and analyze large datasets, run statistical analyses, and visualize results. This allows them to execute computationally intensive tasks efficiently and collaborate with colleagues on data-driven projects.
Use Case
Data Collection:
- Sales Data: Transactional data collected from each store’s point-of-sale (POS) systems, including sales volume, product details, timestamps, and customer information.
