The all-in-one AI-powered analytics platform for unified data simulation and real-time intelligence.
Microsoft Fabric represents the 2026 standard for unified enterprise data environments, effectively merging data engineering, data science, and real-time analytics into a single AI-driven 'fabric.' At its core is OneLake, a multi-cloud data lake that eliminates silos through 'shortcuts' to AWS and GCP. For AI Architects, the platform’s primary value lies in its 'Simulation' capabilities, driven by Synapse Real-Time Intelligence and Data Science workloads. It enables high-fidelity simulation of business processes, digital twins for manufacturing, and financial forecasting using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and standard ML models. The 2026 iteration features deep integration with Copilot for autonomous ETL and the 'Data Activator' for closed-loop automation. Built on the open Delta-Parquet format, it ensures that simulation data remains accessible across the ecosystem without proprietary lock-in. Fabric's architecture is designed to handle petabyte-scale simulation data with sub-second latency, providing a massive competitive advantage for organizations moving toward autonomous operations and real-time predictive modeling.
Virtualizes data across clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) without movement using Delta-Parquet standards.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
A Power BI engine capability that reads Delta tables directly from OneLake without importing or querying the database.
Combines Kusto (KQL) engines for high-frequency data ingestion and anomaly detection.
A no-code tool for detecting patterns in simulation data and triggering downstream workflows.
Support for Deep Learning libraries that incorporate physical laws into neural network training.
LLM-integrated notebook experience that generates Python code for complex statistical simulations.
Row-level and Column-level security defined once in OneLake and inherited by all engines (SQL, Spark, Power BI).
Predicting machine failure before it occurs using sensor telemetry.
