Virtual Network Data Gateway Support for Fabric Pipeline, Fast Copy in Dataflow Gen2, and Copy Job in Preview

Unlocking seamless and Secure Data Integration for Enterprises

In today’s data-driven world, network security and secure data transmission are paramount concerns for enterprises handling sensitive information. At Microsoft, we are committed to empowering businesses with the tools they need to securely integrate, process, and analyze their data. As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce the public preview of Virtual Network (VNET) Data Gateway support for Fabric Pipeline Copy, Fast Copy in Dataflow Gen2, and Copy Job.

What is VNET data gateway?

Large enterprises often operate within complex data ecosystems where the secure transfer of data is non-negotiable. To meet the demands for enhanced network security, the new VNET Data Gateway support allows customers to:

  • Enable secure data integration: Fabric Pipelines and Dataflows now seamlessly integrate with data sources inside a customer’s Virtual Network, ensuring that sensitive data never traverses public networks.
  • Leverage enhanced connectivity: Use private endpoints and express routes to establish secure and high-speed connections between data services.
  • Centralize network security management: Gain greater control by centralizing the configuration and governance of data movement through a single, secure gateway.

Key capabilities and scenarios in Preview

  1. Fabric Pipeline with VNET Gateway Support:
    • Securely copy data from private network or other network-isolated data sources into your Microsoft Fabric workspace.
    • Benefit from streamlined access to private data services without compromising security.
  1. Fast Copy in Dataflow Gen2:
    • Accelerate your data ingestion workflows with optimized copy performance.
    • Ensure compliance with enterprise security policies by using a fully managed VNET Data Gateway.
  2. Copy Job Support:
    • Execute data movement tasks with enhanced security.
    • Integrate easily with existing Fabric Pipeline solutions, reducing setup complexity.
