Microsoft R Client includes the ScaleR package (rx functions and XDF file type) for faster statistics with data up to memory size. This is larger data than R can handle, as computations are done out-of-memory. For no limits on data size, you can use Microsoft R Server, which is also available free as part of Dev Essentials http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2016/01/microsoft-r-open... , but only for development use. Microsoft R Client can also initiate computations (of unlimited size) on a remote Microsoft R Server.
