Hybrid data integration at enterprise scale, made easy
Data Factory supports processing on-prem data (for example from SQL Server) with data that originates in the Cloud (for example Azure SQL Database, Blobs and Tables) with highly-available and fault-tolerant data pipelines.
Azure Data Factory lets users create and schedule data-driven workflows and thus lets them focus on transformative analytics.
As part of the ETL scheduling process, Data Factory might also orchestrate other tools for processing data, such as SSIS.
