Why Microsoft Fabric has already been adopted by 70% of the Fortune 500 — and what’s next


Microsoft integrates CosmosDB into Fabric, open sources DiskANN vector search, and unifies its data platforms to eliminate integration complexity that has slowed enterprise AI adoption.

This optimization means all Fabric services, from SQL to Power BI to CosmosDB, can access the same underlying data without conversion or duplication, eliminating the traditional performance penalty associated with open formats. This helps address one of the key challenges in building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, where finding semantically similar content quickly is essential for grounding AI responses in enterprise data. Organizations that embrace this integration can shift their focus from maintaining complex data pipelines to creating AI applications that deliver tangible business value—potentially outpacing competitors still struggling with fragmented architectures.
