Microsoft’s new Fabric Database Hub is a “partial solution” for enterprises relying on systems outside the vendor’s portfolio, but within these confines, it could make databases more connected and manageable, say analysts reacting to the news.
Operating within Microsoft’s Fabric data platform, Database Hub promises a single location where engineers can manage a range of common Microsoft database services, including Azure SQL Server, multi-model system Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc, Azure Database for MySQL, and other Fabric services. Microsoft’s LLM tool, Copilot, also promises to provide insights to help teams quickly understand what’s happening across their database estate and why.
DBAs can manage systems on-premises, on PaaS, and on SaaS, but they would be limited to the Microsoft databases portfolio, Shireesh Thota, Microsoft corporate vice president for databases, said in a blog post.
