What is Microsoft Fabric?
Microsoft Fabric is the cutting-edge unified data analytics platform from Microsoft. This innovative solution brings together all your analytics services into a seamless end-to-end platform, enabling you to seamlessly transition from raw data in the lake to valuable insights in the hands of business users.
With a robust suite of services encompassing data lake, data engineering, and data integration, Microsoft Fabric streamlines the process by eliminating the need for multiple disparate services. By integrating essential data provisioning, transformation, modeling, and analysis services into a single user interface.
While established Microsoft products like Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, and Azure Data Explorer will remain as individual Azure PaaS solutions, Fabric represents a progressive evolution in the form of a simplified SaaS solution that seamlessly integrates with existing PaaS offerings.
Furthermore, customers have the option to acquire a unified computing pool that powers all Fabric workloads, providing a seamless and efficient analytics experience.
