What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's unified data platform, bringing together in a single product everything an organisation needs to turn data into insights: data connectivity and ingestion, data engineering, a data warehouse, real-time analytics, data science and Power BI. At the heart of the platform sits OneLake - a single organisational data lake that every tool works against, so data is stored once and is available to every team and every workload.

Why are organisations moving to Fabric?

  • One platform instead of a collection of separate tools - fewer integrations, less maintenance
  • Data is stored once in OneLake - no duplication or copying between systems
  • Power BI reports in Direct Lake mode - high performance even on large data volumes
  • A single capacity-based pricing model - simple to budget and manage
  • Built-in Copilot - write queries, build reports and analyse data with AI assistance
  • Fully SaaS - no infrastructure, servers or upgrades to manage

What does the platform include?

OneLake A single organisational data lake serving every part of the platform
Data Factory Connect and load data from hundreds of sources - cloud ETL/ELT
Data Engineering Spark-based data engineering - Notebooks and Lakehouse
Data Warehouse A high-performance data warehouse with full SQL support
Real-Time Intelligence Ingest and analyse data in real time - streaming and alerts
Data Science Build machine learning and AI models on your organisational data
Power BI The visualisation and reporting layer - built into the platform

Fabric and Power BI - how do they fit together?

Power BI is an integral part of Fabric - the platform's visualisation layer. Organisations already working with Power BI can adopt Fabric gradually: start with a data warehouse or Lakehouse in OneLake, connect existing reports in Direct Lake mode, and expand from there to automation, streaming and AI - all in the same environment and under the same permissions model.
