Microsoft Fabric is now generally available

One of the most anticipated announcements at Ignite 2023 was the general availability of Microsoft Fabric, a unified data platform that enables organizations to prepare their data for AI innovation. Microsoft Fabric was first introduced at Microsoft Build 2023 as “perhaps the biggest launch of a data product from Microsoft since the launch of SQL Server”, according to Satya Nadella, CEO and Chairman of Microsoft.

Microsoft Fabric integrates Power BI, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Data Factory into a single service, with a common capacity pricing model and a unified user experience. With Microsoft Fabric, users can access, analyze, transform, and govern their data across multiple sources and formats, using familiar tools and languages. Microsoft Fabric also supports the creation and consumption of foundation models, which are large-scale AI models that can be customized and applied to various domains and scenarios.

Microsoft Fabric has been adopted by thousands of organizations around the world, including 67 percent of the Fortune 500, since its preview announcement
