“Microsoft Fabric: Transforming Connectivity with Revolutionary Technology — An In-Depth Exploration”
Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one analytics solution for enterprises that covers everything from data movement to data science, Real-Time Analytics, and business intelligence. It offers a comprehensive suite of services, including data lake, data engineering, and data integration, all in one place.
With Fabric, you don’t need to piece together different services from multiple vendors. Instead, you can enjoy a highly integrated, end-to-end, and easy-to-use product that is designed to simplify your analytics needs.
The platform is built on a Software as a Service (SaaS) foundation, which elevates simplicity and integration to new heights.
The cornerstone behind SaaS:
Microsoft Fabric combines new and current Power BI, Azure Synapse, and Azure Data Explorer components into a single integrated platform. These components are then shown in a variety of personalized user experiences.
All of the data engineering tech stack and data analytics tools you use at Microsoft fall under one framework. Fabric combines Data Engineering, Data Factory, Data Science, Data Warehouse, Real-Time Analytics, and Power BI experiences on a common SaaS foundation.
This integration offers the following benefits:
- In the sector, there is a wide spectrum of tightly integrated analytics.
- Shared experiences throughout recognizable and simple-to-learn activities.
- All materials are easily accessible and reusable by developers.
- A unified data lake that allows you to keep the data in its original location while utilizing your preferred analytics tools.
- Administration and governance are centralized across all experiences.
Components of Fabric include:
Data Engineering: Data Engineering experience provides a world class Spark platform with great authoring experiences, enabling data engineers to perform large-scale data transformation and democratize data through the Lakehouse.
Data Factory: Azure Data Factory combines the simplicity of Power Query with the scale and power of Azure Data Factory. You can use more than 200 native connectors to connect to data sources on-premises and in the cloud.
Data Science: Data Science experience enables machine learning models to be built, deployed, and operationalized within Fabric. It integrates with Azure Machine Learning to provide experiment tracking and model registry. This shifts from descriptive to predictive insights.
Data Warehouse: The Data Warehouse experience provides industry-leading SQL performance and scale. It fully separates compute from storage, enabling independent scaling of both components. Additionally, it natively stores data in the open Delta Lake format.
Real-Time Analytics: Observational data is the fastest-growing data category and is often semi-structured in formats like JSON or Text, making it difficult for traditional data warehousing platforms to work with. Real-Time Analytics is the best-in-class engine for this data analytics.
Power BI: Power BI is the world’s leading business intelligence platform. It ensures that business owners can access all the data in Fabric quickly and intuitively to make better decisions with data
Overview of Fabric:
Architecture:
The underlying architecture has been modified to enable one lake, which is essentially the whole data set that will be recorded in the industry-standard Delta Parquet format for saving column data.
OneLake and Lakehouse: Bringing lakehouses together. The OneLake and Lakehouse architectures are unified across organizations via the Microsoft Fabric platform.
OneLake:
The data lake is the foundation on which all Fabric services are built. Microsoft Fabric Lake is also known as OneLake. It’s built into the Fabric service and provides a suitable location to store all organizational data where the experiences operate.
OneLake comes automatically with every Microsoft Fabric tenant and is designed to be the single place for all your analytics data. OneLake brings customers:
- One data lake for the entire organization
- One copy of data for use with multiple analytical engines
The internal architecture has been changed to support one lake, basically, the entire data will get saved in the Delta Parquet format, which is the industry standard for keeping column data.
As a result, Power BI will now access data in the same format. Synapse Analytics will collect the same information. The Azure Data Factory will process the same data. The Data warehouses will process the same data. Real-time analytics will use the same data format. While either reading or writing, they will have access to the same data in the same format.
With the Microsoft Fabric SaaS experience, all the data and services are seamlessly integrated. IT teams can centrally configure core enterprise capabilities, and permissions are automatically applied across all the underlying services. Additionally, data sensitivity labels are inherited automatically across the items in the suite.
Fabric allows creators to concentrate on producing their best work, freeing them from the need to integrate, manage, or understand the underlying infrastructure that supports the experience.
