Many organizations validate data only once it reaches their analytics platform. But long before that happens, critical operational data is already being created, transformed, and moved through systems like SQL Server or Microsoft Fabric.
If issues occur in the process, they can quietly propagate into dashboards, machine learning models, and AI systems downstream, breaking trust in them. And without native integration into a data quality platform, validating these systems can require custom connectors, API configuration, or workarounds.
To help teams catch problems earlier in the data lifecycle, GX Cloud now supports Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Fabric as native data sources.
Native SQL Server and Fabric support in GX Cloud
Data teams can connect Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Fabric directly through the GX Cloud interface, allowing them to configure schemas and begin validating datasets without custom setup.
All it takes is going to the New Data Asset menu, selecting SQL Server or Fabric, entering connection details, then choosing the schema to validate.
From there, GX Cloud allows users to select assets and automatically configure data quality checks, making it easier to bring critical operational data into your data quality workflows.
Check out our documentation on connecting GX Cloud to SQL Server and Fabric for more specifics.
Automatically monitor operational data quality
Once data assets are connected, GX Cloud enables automated validation across key aspects of data quality.
Teams can create Expectations to monitor schema consistency, data volume, and completeness, helping detect issues such as schema drift, missing data, or unexpected changes in dataset size.
ExpectAI is also available for SQL Server and Fabric to help teams generate Expectations automatically.
This allows teams to onboard new datasets quickly while maintaining strong data quality coverage.
Bringing GX Cloud to more Microsoft data teams
With native SQL Server and Fabric support, GX Cloud is now easier to adopt for organizations running Microsoft-centric data stacks.
Whether your data originates in operational systems or modern analytics platforms, GX Cloud helps ensure it remains trustworthy as it moves through your pipelines.
