Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric offers a wide range of capabilities designed to enhance productivity, data management, and AI integration. Here are some of the key capabilities:

• Role-specific workloads: Customized solutions for various roles within an organization, providing each user with the necessary tools.
• OneLake: A unified data lake that simplifies data management and access.
• Copilot support: AI-driven features that assist users by providing intelligent suggestions and automating tasks.
• Integration with Microsoft 365: Seamless integration with Microsoft 365 tools, enhancing collaboration and productivity across the organization.
• Azure AI Foundry: Utilizes Azure AI Foundry for advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, enabling users to build and deploy AI models efficiently.
• Unified data management: Centralized data discovery that simplifies governance, sharing, and access.

Microsoft Fabric is built on a Software as a Service (SaaS) foundation. It unifies new and existing components from Power BI, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and more into a single environment, tailored for customized user experiences.

Fabric integrates workloads like Data Engineering, Data Factory, Data Science, Data Warehouse, Real-Time Intelligence, Industry solutions, Databases, and Power BI into a shared SaaS foundation. Each of these experiences is tailored for distinct user roles like data engineers, scientists, or warehousing professionals, and they serve a specific task. The AI-integrated Fabric stack accelerates the data journey and offers the following advantages:

• Extensive integrated analytics
• Familiar and easy-to-learn shared experiences
• Easy access and reuse of all assets
• Unified data lake storage preserving data in its original location
• Centralized administration and governance

Fabric seamlessly integrates data and services, enabling unified management, governance, and discovery. It ensures security for items, data, and row-level access. You can centrally configure core enterprise capabilities. Permissions are automatically applied across all the underlying services. Additionally, data sensitivity labels inherit automatically across the items in the suite. Governance is powered by Purview, which is built into Fabric.

Fabric allows creators to concentrate on producing their best work, freeing them from the need to integrate, manage, or even understand the underlying infrastructure.
