New innovations strengthen a trusted data foundation for Informatica customers using analytics and AI across Microsoft Fabric and Azure.
Informatica from Salesforce has announced deeper integration with Microsoft.
The announcement includes general availability of support for Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring, as well as the launch of a new Microsoft Azure-based IDMC point of delivery (pod) in Switzerland.
These innovations advance customer choice and simplify how Azure customers can better ingest, manage and govern data across Azure and Microsoft Fabric while reinforcing the trusted data foundation required for AI and analytics initiatives spanning multicloud environments.
Simplifying data synchronisation with support for Open Mirroring
With the April 2026 IDMC release, Informatica now supports Open Mirroring directly within its Cloud Data Integration and Replication (CDIR) services. Customers can enable Open Mirroring capabilities with a single click while creating and maintaining mass ingestion pipelines in IDMC, streamlining ingestion from over 300 enterprise data sources into Microsoft Fabric mirrored databases.
Open Mirroring functionality allows data to be synchronised between Fabric OneLake and Fabric Data Warehouse. By integrating this capability directly into Open Mirroring with IDMC, Informatica simplifies the creation and maintenance of mirrored database pipelines while enabling customers to apply enterprise-grade data governance, data quality and master data management services to their data.
With Informatica’s enterprise wide data integration capabilities, customers can gain near real-time data access and reduced costs for their AI and analytics initiatives with Fabric.
“As organizations are accelerating their AI and analytics initiatives, they require trusted context to succeed,” said Krish Vitaldevara, Chief Product Officer, Informatica. “By embedding support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring directly into IDMC, we are helping customers streamline ingestion from more than 300 enterprise sources while helping to ensure data is governed, high quality and ready for analytics and AI at scale.”
“Informatica’s support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring enables customers to take advantage of Informatica’s wide range of connectivity and the flexibility of Open Mirroring,” said Arun Ulag, President of Azure Data, Microsoft. “As organizations scale their analytics and AI strategies, the combination of Microsoft Fabric and Informatica’s data management capabilities helps ensure insights and AI models are built on trusted, enterprise-grade data.”
Expanding regional choice with new IDMC Azure pod in Switzerland
Informatica also has announced the establishment of a new IDMC Azure pod in Switzerland, available in March 2026. The new pod delivers the full suite of Informatica cloud data management capabilities on Azure, including advanced serverless integration as an Azure Native Service and AI-empowered data, data governance, data quality and master data management.
The Switzerland-based pod is designed to support European customers with data residency, sovereignty and regulatory requirements that call for local data processing.
