Data Fabric

An architecture that uses metadata, automation and integration services to provide unified, governed access to data across distributed sources.

Definition

A data fabric relies on active metadata, knowledge graphs and AI-driven integration to connect data wherever it resides. It is technology-centric, while data mesh is organization-centric. Microsoft Fabric is a product name and should not be confused with the general concept.

Exam tip

Don't equate the generic 'data fabric' concept with the Microsoft Fabric product.
