Understanding Microsoft Fabric: What you need to know
- 06/02/2024
Microsoft Fabric is a new and groundbreaking data platform that brings a comprehensive suite of services to one centralized location. Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), your access to corporate data is easier than ever before, accelerating your time-to-insights.
The platform, which includes features such as data lakes, data engineering, and data integration, eliminates the need to juggle between different services from multiple providers. Instead, you can benefit from a well-integrated, end-to-end, and user-friendly product tailored to simplify your analytical needs. MS Fabric is built on the foundational Software as a Service (SaaS) model, taking simplicity and integration to entirely new heights.
Microsoft Fabric can scale from small solutions to large enterprise solutions, allowing you to work with future data analytics regardless of your company's size.
How Microsoft Fabric works
Microsoft Fabric integrates both new and existing components from Power BI, Azure Synapse, and Azure Data Explorer into one cohesive ecosystem. These components are presented in a unified manner through various customized user interfaces, ensuring an optimal and holistic user experience.
With Microsoft Fabric, the integration of data and services occurs seamlessly. It frees MS Fabric users from the hassle of worrying about integration, administration, or understanding the complex infrastructure supporting the platform. Instead, users can fully concentrate on delivering their best work without unnecessary distractions.
