Talk to our experts

Is your Synapse data holding back AI workloads?

AI needs unified, governed data to perform. Fabric provides an AI-ready foundation with native Microsoft integrations, and our migration framework ensures your estate is optimized for AI from day one.

Struggling with slow or batch-heavy Synapse pipelines?

Synapse pipelines often lag with real-time demands. Fabric's Real-Time Intelligence delivers instant insights, while we redesign workloads to enable always-on, low-latency analytics.

Finding it hard to control costs and licensing?

Separate Synapse, Power BI, and storage licenses drive complexity and TCO. Fabric consolidates them under one license with OneLake, and our migration approach brings cost predictability and simpler management.

Why move from Azure Synapse Analytics to Microsoft Fabric?

For Azure users, Fabric is the natural evolution of Synapse—bringing pipelines, storage, reporting, and AI into one SaaS platform.

Data Teams: Eliminate tool sprawl by unifying pipelines, storage, and reporting in Fabric.

IT & Infrastructure Leaders: Modernize while retaining Azure networks, VMs, and security.

Enterprise Architects: Connect Synapse, Data Lake, and hybrid systems with governance.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Optimize costs with a consumption-based model that aligns compute and storage expenses to actual usage.

Our Perspectives

FAQs

  • Fragmented Workloads:Workloads split across SQL pools, Spark, Data Factory, and external storage make it difficult to consolidate into Fabric's unified SaaS environment.
  • Pipeline Re-Engineering:Existing ADF pipelines, triggers, and linked services often need re-design to fit Fabric Data Factory's orchestration model.
  • Storage and OneLake Alignment: Migrating from Synapse dedicated pools and ADLS into OneLake requires rationalization to avoid duplication, latency, or data loss.
  • Security and Access Re-Mapping:Role-based access, credentials, and security policies in Synapse don't directly transfer, creating governance gaps if not re-established in Fabric.
  • Query and Performance Tuning:Partitioning, indexing, and materialized views optimized in Synapse may not carry over, demanding tuning for Fabric's lakehouse model.
  • Operational Continuity & BI Dependencies: Coexistence of Synapse and Fabric during migration demands tight synchronization to avoid downtime, while Power BI datasets must be remapped to preserve lineage and reporting.
Managing Synapse, Data Factory, and Data Lake separately adds complexity, slows innovation, and limits real-time insights. Fabric unifies your data stack into one AI-powered, governed platform — simplifying operations, accelerating decision-making, and preparing your business for scalable, real-time, AI-driven analytics.
No. Fabric supports phased migration, letting you modernize workloads like SQL Pools, Pipelines, or Real-Time Streaming while maintaining your Azure infrastructure. You also eliminate the licensing sprawl that comes with managing Power BI, ADF, Azure ML, and Notebooks separately. To learn more, read our blog.
Fabric is a SaaS platform, so it complements your existing Azure setup without requiring manual provisioning. Unlike Synapse, it automatically includes storage, offers unified pricing, and integrates with multiple data warehouses and clouds through native mirroring and shortcuts.
These assets can be re-engineered and migrated to Fabric using recommended Microsoft tools with minimal disruption. PreludeSys provides readiness assessments to plan a seamless transition.
Yes. Fabric offers region-based data residency controls, built-in governance, and alignment with Microsoft Purview — ensuring compliance across regulated industries and global operations.
