Azure Data Warehouse Services
Unlock the power of your business data with our Azure Data Warehouse Services – scalable, secure, and designed for advanced analytics. Whether you’re managing structured, semi-structured or unstructured data, we help you consolidate and transform it into actionable insights.
What is Azure Data Warehouse?
In Microsoft’s updated ecosystem, Azure Data Warehouse is no longer a standalone service. The data warehousing capabilities are now part of Azure Synapse Analytics, which is integrated into Microsoft Fabric. Rather than one “Azure Data Warehouse” product, there are three core services within Synapse that together deliver a comprehensive data warehousing solution.
These services work in concert to help you ingest, store, transform, and analyse large volumes of data from various sources, ensuring that you have access to a unified platform for all your data needs. Whether working with structured, semi-structured, or unstructured data, Microsoft Fabric provides flexibility and scalability through its integrated suite of services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Azure Data Warehouse?
Azure Data Warehouse is no longer a standalone product. It has been rebranded as Azure Synapse Analytics, part of Microsoft Fabric, which now provides a modern, integrated analytics platform that includes data warehousing, data integration, and advanced analytics capabilities.
What is Azure Data Lake Storage and how does it relate to data warehousing?
Azure Data Lake Storage is a scalable, secure storage service designed for big data analytics. It’s commonly used alongside Azure Synapse Analytics to store raw or unprocessed data before it’s transformed and analysed. Data stored in a Data Lake can then be ingested into the data warehouse for deeper insights.
Can Synapse Analytics handle semi-structured data like JSON or XML?
Yes, Synapse Analytics can handle semi-structured data such as JSON and XML. You can load and process this data using Azure Data Factory, Synapse pipelines, or direct integration with Azure Event Hubs, ensuring data is always up-to-date for analysis.
How does Azure Synapse support business intelligence and reporting?
Synapse integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Power BI and other reporting tools to deliver real-time dashboards and reports. It consolidates data from structured and semi-structured sources into a single platform, making it easier to query and enabling data-driven decisions.
Is Azure Synapse Analytics suitable for businesses dealing with large volumes of data?
Yes, Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly Azure SQL Data Warehouse) is designed for large-scale data operations. With features like massively parallel processing (MPP) and elastic compute, it can handle vast data volumes and high-performance analytics across the entire data ecosystem.
