    Review Multi-Cloud Experience

    Many enterprises run hybrid Azure + AWS or GCP environments. Partners with multi-cloud experience can help you integrate Azure Synapse with external data sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Microsoft Fabric?

    Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one analytics solution that unifies data engineering, data science, and BI. It simplifies the stack by combining Synapse, Data Factory, and Power BI into a single SaaS experience with OneLake as the unified storage layer.

  • Synapse vs. Databricks on Azure: Which should I choose?

    Databricks on Azure is often preferred for heavy Spark engineering and ML workloads due to its superior developer experience. Synapse is excellent for SQL-heavy teams and for integration with the wider Microsoft/Office ecosystem (Power BI, Excel).

  • How much do Azure specialized consultants cost?

    Azure data engineering prices depend on delivery model, seniority, and scope. Experts in the new Microsoft Fabric platform are in high demand and may be priced higher due to limited availability. The rates guide explains what drives price, and written quotes are the best way to budget.

  • Can Azure integrate with my existing AWS infrastructure?

    Yes. Azure Synapse can connect to external data sources via PolyBase, and services like Azure Arc enable hybrid/multi-cloud governance. Many organizations run Azure Synapse as their unified warehouse while keeping compute workloads in AWS.

  • What's the difference between dedicated SQL pools and serverless SQL?

    Dedicated SQL pools provide reserved compute for predictable, high-concurrency workloads (always-on billing). Serverless SQL charges per TB scanned and is ideal for ad-hoc exploration and data lake queries (pay-per-query).
