Yesterday it was officially launched Microsoft Fabrica new platform dedicated to analytics and data that is based on the philosophy end-to-end.
Such a service, not to be confused with Azure Service Fabricis focused on OneLakehowever being able to act also on data extrapolated from Amazon S3 and, in the future, also from Google Cloud Platform e AI Copilot. Microsoft Fabric includes, in addition to various integration tools, also a platform of data engineering based on Spark (a real-time data analysis system).
Those who work on this platform, therefore, can interact with it by monitoring data in real time, setting related actions and notifications even without the need to work with programming codes.
According to Microsoft’s corporate vice president for Azure Data, Arun Ulag “In the last 5-10 years, there has been a pretty high level of innovation, which is great because there are a lot of new technologies out there, but it has also caused a lot of fragmentation in data management”
Microsoft Fabric: A new way to manage data analytics
Always Arun Ulag then declared “There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of open source products, technologies, and solutions that customers need to make sense of“. The principle behind Microsoft Fabric is precisely to offer one common standardcapable of making the work of companies in the sector easier.
To do this, the team decided to focus on a unified compute infrastructure and a single data lake: “There is a unified computing infrastructure; there is a single data lake. It’s a unified product experience for all your data professionals so they can truly collaborate deeply.” Ulag said.
Another feature of this new platform will be a multi-cloud approach, which should contribute to its flexibility, as well as significant potential cash savings. Most companies today manage their data and analytics systems with the help of multiple vendors, which translates into additional, often significant costs.
Another benefit, according to Microsoft, is that this new standard that is easier to manage data access and governance, using Microsoft Purview. This means that it is possible to maintain, even with data export, some specific security solutions (such as any encryption of information).
From first of JulyFabric will be enabled for all tenants Power BI.
