Hi everyone,

I'm interested in learning about the latest developments in edge computing solutions offered by Microsoft Fabric. I've done some research and found some information that I thought would be helpful to share.

Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one analytics solution for enterprises that covers everything from data movement to data science, Real-Time Analytics, and business intelligence.

Fabric integrates technologies like Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Power BI into a single unified product, empowering data and business professionals alike to unlock the potential of their data and lay the foundation for the era of AI.

Fabric comes with a SaaS, multi-cloud data lake called OneLake that is built-in and automatically available to every Fabric tenant. All Fabric workloads are automatically wired into OneLake, just like all Microsoft 365 applications are wired into OneDrive.

Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics solution with full-service capabilities including data movement, data lakes, data engineering, data integration, data science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence—all backed by a shared platform providing robust data security, governance, and compliance.

Azure Private Multi-Access Edge Compute [ https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/servers-storage/solutions/edge-computing/ ](MEC) provides rich, seamless customer experiences in real-time with ultra-low-latency edge compute capabilities with Azure Edge Zone solutions.

Microsoft Fabric is a comprehensive analytics platform for businesses that includes features for data science, business intelligence, real-time analytics, and more.

Edge computing allows devices in remote locations to process data at the "edge" of the network, either by the device or a local server. Microsoft offers services to help incorporate edge computing with common technologies like databases, operating systems, cybersecurity, blockchain ledgers, and infrastructure management.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to share any additional insights or resources you may have on this topic.

Here are some of the latest developments in this area:

• Microsoft Azure Arc now supports Azure Machine Learning on Azure Stack HCI. This means that organizations can build and deploy AI models at the edge without having to connect to Azure.
• Azure IoT Edge now supports Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) on Azure Stack HCI. This enables organizations to run containerized workloads at the edge, with all the benefits of Kubernetes, such as scalability, resilience, and portability.
• Microsoft has partnered with Nokia to develop a new edge computing platform for 5G networks. This platform will enable operators to deliver new services to their customers, such as real-time network analytics and machine learning.

In addition to these specific developments, Microsoft is also continuing to invest in edge computing research and development. For example, Microsoft is working on new ways to improve the security and performance of edge computing platforms.

Here are some examples of how Microsoft Fabric and edge computing are being used today:

• Retailers are using Fabric to analyze real-time data from sensors in their stores to optimize inventory levels and improve customer experiences.
• Manufacturers are using Fabric to monitor and control their production lines in real time, to ensure quality and efficiency.
• Healthcare providers are using Fabric to analyze patient data in real time to improve diagnosis and treatment.
• Transportation companies are using Fabric to track and optimize their fleets in real time, to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Overall, Microsoft Fabric is a powerful platform for edge computing, and Microsoft is continuing to invest in new developments in this area.
