The strategic partnership between Oracle and Microsoft has redefined the enterprise cloud landscape. Oracle Database@Azure seamlessly integrates Oracle’s database services with Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, empowering businesses to maintain the performance, security, and reliability of Oracle databases while modernizing with Azure’s extensive cloud services.
As companies strive to accelerate their digital transformation, reduce complexity, and optimize their cloud strategies, data remains central to their success. High-quality data underpins effective business insights and serves as the foundation for AI innovation. Now in public preview, customers have the opportunity to use OCI GoldenGate—a database replication and heterogeneous data integration service—to sync their data estates with Microsoft Fabric. This integration unlocks new prospects for data analytics and AI applications by unifying diverse datasets, allowing teams to identify patterns and visualize opportunities.
A Unified Platform for Data and AI
Microsoft Fabric is an AI-powered real-time analytics and business intelligence platform that consolidates data engineering, integration, warehousing, and data science into one unified solution. By simplifying the complexity and cost of integrating analytics services, Microsoft Fabric provides a seamless experience for data professionals across various roles.
Microsoft Fabric integrates tools like Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Data Factory into a cohesive Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, featuring seven core workloads tailored to specific tasks and personas. This platform enables organizations to manage their entire data lifecycle within a single solution, streamlining the process of building, managing, and deploying data-driven applications. With its unified architecture, Microsoft Fabric reduces the complexity of managing a data estate and simplifies billing by offering a shared pool of capacity and storage across all workloads. It also enhances data management and protection with robust governance and security features.
A key highlight of Microsoft Fabric is its integration with native generative AI services, such as Copilot, which enables richer insights and more compelling visualizations. This AI-driven approach can significantly impact business growth by improving decision-making and collaboration across teams. With Power BI and Synapse workloads built in and native integration with Azure Machine Learning, you can accelerate the deployment of AI-powered solutions, making it an essential tool for organizations looking to advance their data strategies.
