Data Integration

Easy data management and seamless data source integration for quick and knowledgeable decisions.

With Microsoft Fabric you are acting within a modern data integration environment that makes it possible to collect, prepare and transform data from different sources. There are two main functions: Dataflows for transforming data with small amounts of code and Datapipelines for creating flexible dataworkflows and powerful workflow-capabilities at a cloud scale.

Data Engineering

Manage and analyze data efficiently and effortlessly.

Microsoft Fabric offers a powerful Spark platform that enables data engineers to efficiently transform and democratize large amounts of data. This component forms the backbone for data processing and analysis operations.

 Data Warehouse

Cross-database queries and fast insights without data duplication.

Microsoft Fabric offers an industry-leading solution for SQL performance and scalability. The complete separation of computation and storage allows independent scaling of both aspects and supports efficient data management.

Real-time analytics

Analyze streaming and time series data without performance issues and low latency.

This component is specifically designed to analyze observational data coming from a variety of sources such as apps, IoT-devices and human interactions. It provides a high-class engine for analyzing this fast-growing category of data.

Data Science

From data examination and preparation to experimentation, modeling and providing predictive insights, you have got it all.

In this area, Microsoft Fabric enables the creation, implementation and operation of machine learning models within an integrated environment. The inclusion of Azure Machine Learning offers advanced functions for experimenting and managing models.

Power BI

Quickly gain insights from different data sources and transform them into interactive reports and dashboards with just a few clicks.

Power BI provides a comprehensive platform for business intelligence and data visualization that allows you to connect, model and analyze data from different sources. Users can create interactive reports and dashboards to gain insights into their data and make informed decisions. By integrating with other Microsoft products and services, Power BI provides a flexible and powerful solution for enterprise data analysis and presentation.

 Data Activator

Rapid response opportunity through triggers in metrics.

Data Activator is a no-code platform component within Microsoft Fabric that triggers automated actions when certain patterns or conditions are detected in Power BI reports and event streams. This solution makes it possible to respond to changes in real time by sending user alerts and automatically initiating Power Automate workflows.

Copilot

Increase team productivity through AI: Code generation, automation of routine tasks and accelerated processes in data preparation.

One of the most advanced features of Microsoft Fabric is the integration of Azure OpenAI Service, which enables the use of AI in daily data processing and analysis.

 OneLake and Lakehouse architecture

Your OneDrive for data in the cloud.

OneLake in Fabric provides a unified, data lake for your entire organization. It simplifies data management and reduces data duplication. In addition, OneLake minimizes data movement and enables access through different analytics engines, making data easier to access and reducing complexity. It is a user-friendly solution for modern data management and analysis within organizations.

OneLake storage approach: true separation of computing power and memory

Direct Lake

Direct Lake in Fabric, the data connection of the future, is a high-performance method of connecting data in Power BI. It also enables efficient analysis of large amounts of data by loading data directly from the OneLake in a specially optimized format without having to import or duplicate it in a Power BI model.

This method combines the benefits of Direct Query and Import Mode by enabling fast data processing with immediate adoption of changes to the data source, ideal for large models or frequently updated data sources.

The DirektLake Connector enables direct integration of data sources into OneLake, resulting in real-time data access, highest data quality and cost savings. Companies that use this connector are able to increase agility and flexibility in data management and set new standards in a data-driven world.
