Informatica from Salesforce announced on March 18 deeper integration with Microsoft, including support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring and the launch of a new Azure-based Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) point-of-delivery in Switzerland.
The announcement is significant for organizations seeking to strengthen their data management foundations as they pursue analytics and artificial intelligence initiatives across multicloud environments. The new capabilities are designed to help customers ingest, manage, and govern data more efficiently within Microsoft Fabric and Azure.
With the April 2026 release of IDMC, Informatica will support Open Mirroring directly within its Cloud Data Integration and Replication services. This allows customers to enable Open Mirroring with a single click while creating mass ingestion pipelines from over 300 enterprise data sources into Microsoft Fabric mirrored databases. Krish Vitaldevara, Chief Product Officer at Informatica, said, “As organizations are accelerating their AI and analytics initiatives, they require trusted context to succeed. 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.”
Arun Ulag, President of Azure Data at Microsoft, said, “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. 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.”
The newly established IDMC Azure pod in Switzerland will be available beginning March 2026. It is intended to help European customers meet requirements related to data residency, sovereignty, and regulation by providing local processing options. Customers can purchase these services through the Microsoft Marketplace.
As mirrored databases and sovereign cloud deployments become more central to enterprise strategies involving artificial intelligence-driven architectures, Informatica said it will continue working with Microsoft to simplify data integration across hybrid environments. Support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring in IDMC becomes generally available with the April 2026 release.
