This is one of the key differences that affects how the platform is implemented and used in organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft Fabric operates in a <strong>SaaS (Software as a Service)<\/strong> model, which means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>no need to manage infrastructure<\/strong> (servers, storage, compute power)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>no requirement for a dedicated Azure subscription<\/strong> to get started<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>simplified onboarding and faster launch of the analytics environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From the perspective of business
