Microsoft Fabric allows your team to use native integration of Microsoft tools to make data accessible for operations, creating agents, and other Gen AI work without the overhead of calling multiple sources. Fabric empowers your team to use the data tools you need in one unified experience to reduce costs, scale effectively, preserve data in your preferred location while sharing easily and leverage centralized administration and governance across all experiences. Here's how it works:
In Fabric, data can be easily ingested, prepared, and transformed from 200+ sources by using Data Factory. With Data Activator, you can specify actions (like email notifications, Power Automate workflows, etc.) to launch when specific conditions change, using low-code tools. You can use Power BI to connect easily to your data sources, visualize, and share insights across teams. You can also use a catalog of no-code connectors to streamline data and data logs for event-driven scenarios with Real-Time Intelligence. Additional integration from Synapse Data Engineering to provide a Spark platform as a data processing framework to schedule jobs and Synapse Data Science to build, deploy, and operationalize machine learning models can help you take analysis to the next level. Finally, Synapse Data Warehouse can separate compute from storage, for independent scale with industry-leading SQL performance.
You can use multitude of connectors in Data Factory and in Real-Time Intelligence, REST APIs for OneLake, shortcuts in OneLake, data sharing across Fabric tenants, and database mirroring. Even if your data isn't on Azure, you can create shortcuts to bring it into OneLake.
Common scenarios to interop with Fabric include:
- You have an existing app that requires enhanced data processing.
- You're drawing data from a variety of sources and environments and would like to present it in one platform.
- You would like to read and manage your app's data within OneLake or Data Factory.
- You'd like to improve the data capability of an existing app through increased processing, storage, or analytical abilities.
- You'd like to build an agent using AI or extend Microsoft 365 Copilot to allow users to ask questions of your data.
