The essence of Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric is a revolutionary SaaS product designed to streamline data management for enterprises. Check out expert insights from Scott Hermes, VP Azure Architect at Kin + Carta and David Giard, Azure Platform Architect at Microsoft.
It’s like Office 365, but for big data—- this analogy sets the stage for understanding just how innovative Microsoft Fabric is.
"Think of it [Microsoft Fabric] as a wrapper around a lot of different Azure and Microsoft services combined in an easy-to-consume package," says David Giard, Azure Platform Architect at Microsoft. It centralizes data access and governance— akin to Office 365— but is tailored for big data. The core of this system is "One Lake," a singular, secure repository for enterprise data, analogous to OneDrive but for larger, more complex datasets.
