What is Microsoft Fabric?
Instead of a traditional, IT-focused architecture, Microsoft Fabric offers a federated data mesh, within which you can decentralize data ownership and allow business domains to organize and govern data. In one scalable, coherent, highly secure platform running on the Azure cloud, Fabric provides end-to-end capabilities for moving, processing, ingesting, transforming, and understanding structured and unstructured data from all your sources.
Forrester analysts assessed the three-year ROI of Fabric at 379 percent. It includes:
- Azure Data Factory for data integration.
- Azure Synapse Analytics for data engineering, data warehouse, data science, and real-time analytics.
- Power BI for business intelligence.
- Data Activator to monitor data and events and initiate the right actions.
- OneLake as a centralized data storage foundation.
- Microsoft Purview for persistent data governance and security.
Intelligent Data Foundations
Once you deploy Fabric as your connected data platform, you no longer need to move data from one location to another, nor do you have to integrate and manage a variety of solutions and services from multiple vendors. Fabric makes it possible for organizations to:
- Reduce their dependence on specialized data skills.
- Make data engineering more productive.
- Improve data access for business analysts.
- Reduce infrastructure costs.
- Broadly deliver AI enablement and data insight.
