Denodo's Agora Now Available on Microsoft Marketplace for AI Use Cases
Denodo's Agora cloud service, designed for agentic AI applications, is now available on the Microsoft Marketplace. The platform integrates with Microsoft and partner AI and data services.
Denodo, a data management leader and Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, has announced its cloud service, Agora, is now available on the Microsoft Marketplace. Agora offers native integrations with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen2, Power BI, and Azure Synapse Analytics, as well as partner services like Azure OpenAI and Azure Databricks.
The service aims to help organizations extend their agentic AI capabilities to critical data residing in over 200 source systems across on-premises, SaaS, and other cloud platforms. It also facilitates compliance with regulatory, data sovereignty, and security requirements.
Agora complements Microsoft Fabric's semantic intelligence by providing a logical data access layer that connects AI agents to operational and analytical data outside of Microsoft systems. While Microsoft Fabric offers semantic understanding, Agora enables access to live, trusted data from non-Microsoft sources, including SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce.
"Microsoft is pleased to welcome Agora to Microsoft Azure and the Microsoft Marketplace," said Jake Zborowski, general manager, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp. "Together with Denodo, we look forward to helping enterprises accelerate agentic AI initiatives—especially those operating in complex hybrid, multi-cloud, and data-sovereign environments."
The Marketplace availability offers customers flexible procurement options, including free trials and contract-based pricing models, streamlining the acquisition process and allowing Denodo purchases to count towards Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC).
