As part of our Amplify Healthcare Intelligence webinar and workshop series, we hosted a session exploring how to securely connect Microsoft Fabric and Power BI to on-premises SQL Server using private connectivity.

Led by Girish Pillai, the session covered the essential building blocks for hybrid data connectivity, including VNet data gateways, on-premises data gateways, and managed private endpoints with Private Link Service.

The presentation walks through four reference architectures:

  1. VNet data gateway over ExpressRoute
  2. VNet data gateway over Site-to-Site VPN
  3. Outbound-only on-premises data gateway
  4. Managed private endpoint for Fabric Spark workloads

Each architecture addresses connectivity and routing, gateway configuration and identity, DNS, data protection, and considerations for choosing the right approach.

The deck also includes a side-by-side comparison to help you evaluate these options based on workload requirements, operational ownership, and bandwidth considerations.

Download the presentation below to use as a reference when planning your own secure, AI-ready healthcare data architecture. Be sure to check out the final slides for upcoming sessions in the Amplify Healthcare Intelligence series.
