What is Microsoft Fabric?
Discover Microsoft Fabric: the ultimate end-to-end analytics and data platform.
Microsoft Fabric is the end-to-end analytics and data platform designed specifically for businesses and organizationis in need of a comprehensive, unified solution. This powerful platform covers all aspects of data management, from data transfer and processing to record, transformation, real-time event routing and reporting. The suite offers services including Data Engineering, Data Factory, Data Science, real-time analytics, data warehouse and databases.
Fabric provides a seamlessly integrated, user-friendly platform that operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Microsoft Fabric integrates individual components into a cohesive stack. With OneLake, you can centralize data storage instead of multiple databases or data warehouses. Using AI capabilities eliminates the need for manual integration. With Fabric, you can easily turn raw data into actionable insights for your users.
Microsoft Fabric, Software as a Service (SaaS)
Microsoft Fabric is a Software as a Service (SaaS) based integrated environment combining both new and existing components of Power BI, Synapse Analytics, Azure, Azure Data Factory and more services.

This allows you to focus on your work without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
Components of Microsoft Fabric.
Fabric provides a comprehensive set of data and analytics components designed to work together seamlessly. The following components are part of the Microsoft Fabric platform.
Power BI
With Power BI, you can easily connect to data sources, visualize and discover what's important and share that with anyone you want. This integrated solution allows users to quickly and intuitively access all the data in Fabric and make better decisions based on that data.
Data Activator
Data Activator is a no-code tool in Fabric that lets you easily set up actions, such as email notifications and Power Automate workflows. These actions are triggered when Data Activator detects specific patterns or conditions in your changing data. It monitors data in Power BI reports and event streams. Once the data reaches certain thresholds or meets other patterns, Data Activator automatically takes the appropriate action.
Real-time intelligence
Realtime Intelligence is a complete solution for event-driven scenarios, streaming data and data logs. It allows you to gain insights, create visualizations and perform actions on moving data. It does this by incorporating data capture, transformation, storage, analysis, visualization, tracking, AI and real-time actions.
The Realtime hub in Real-Time Intelligence gives you a wide range of connectors without code. It aggregates a catalog of organizational data that is secured, managed and integrated into Fabric. This allows you to work easily and efficiently with real-time data within your organization.
Industry Solutions
Fabric provides you with industry-specific data solutions that address the unique needs and challenges of your industry. These solutions include data management, analytics and decision making. For more information, please see the Industry solutions in Microsoft Fabric.
Data Factory
Data Factory gives you a modern data integration experience that lets you ingest, prepare and transform data from a wide range of data sources. It combines the simplicity of Power Query and offers more than 200 system-specific connectors, allowing you to connect to data sources both on-premises and in the cloud.
Synapse Data Warehouse
Synapse Data Warehouse gives you industry-leading SQL performance and scalability. It lets you separate compute power from storage, allowing you to scale both components independently. In addition, your data is stored in the open Delta Lake format by default.
Synapse Data Engineering
Synapse Data Engineering offers you a Spark platform with great design experiences. It lets you create, manage and optimize infrastructures for collecting, storing, processing and analyzing large volumes of data. Fabric Spark's integration with Data Factory lets you plan and organize notebooks and Spark tasks. View What is Data Engineering in Microsoft Fabric? for more information.
Synapse Data Science
Synapse Data Science lets you build, deploy and operationalize machine learning models from Fabric. It integrates with Azure Machine Learning and offers built-in experiment tracking and a model registry. As a data scientist, you can enrich organizational data with predictions, and business analysts can integrate these predictions into their BI reports. This allows you to shift from descriptive to predictive insights.
OneLake: the foundation of Microsoft Fabric.
OneLake forms the foundation of all Fabric workloads within the Microsoft Fabric platform. This data lake, also known as OneLake, provides a central location for storing all organizational data with which the workloads operate.
Built on Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen2.
OneLake is based on ADLS Gen2 and provides a unified SaaS experience with tenant-wide storage. This system is designed for both professional developers and citizen developers. OneLake simplifies the infrastructure experience by eliminating the need to know about complex infrastructure concepts such as resource groups, RBAC (role-based access control), Azure Resource Manager, redundancy or regions. Using Fabric does not require an Azure account.
No more data silos.
OneLake prevents the creation of data silos that often arise when individual developers create and configure their own isolated storage accounts. Instead, OneLake provides an integrated storage system for all developers. This system allows for easy data detection and sharing, and ensures uniform enforcement of policy and security settings.
Benefits of OneLake.
- Central Data Management: One location for all your organizational data.
- Simple Infrastructure: No need to understand or manage infrastructure concepts.
- Integrated and Uniform: Eliminates data silos and provides a seamless storage experience.
- User-friendly: Does not require an Azure account, making access and use easier.
With OneLake, Microsoft Fabric provides a robust, centralized solution for all your data storage needs, making your development experience easier and more efficient.
