Nicus Azure Synapse Analytics Integration

Nicus Azure Synapse Analytics Integration

Feed Synapse financial datasets or DWU consumption costs into ITFM.

Learn More about Nicus IFTM Platform

Azure Synapse Analytics stores transformed financial datasets Nicus accesses for ITFM. Its Dedicated SQL Pool DWU and Serverless consumption costs can also be modeled and allocated as IT spend.

What This Integration Enables

  • Aggregated and transformed financial and operational datasets
  • Business activity and volume metrics processed through Synapse
  • Dedicated SQL Pool DWU consumption and cost data
  • Serverless SQL Pool and Spark Pool usage and cost data
  • Synapse Workspace-level usage and cost data
  • Transformed and modeled data from Synapse Link integrations

Common Use Cases

  • Accessing pre-modeled financial datasets from Azure Synapse for ITFM
  • Incorporating Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool and Serverless costs into ITFM models
  • Business volume metrics from Synapse used to drive cost allocation
  • Using Synapse as a data integration layer for Microsoft-stack ITFM workflows

Flexible Integration Options

Azure Synapse Analytics is Microsoft’s unified analytics service combining enterprise data warehousing, big data analytics, and data integration. It provides Dedicated SQL Pools (metered in Data Warehouse Units/DWUs), Serverless SQL Pools for on-demand query, and Apache Spark Pools — all integrated with OneLake through Azure Synapse Link.

Nicus uses data from Azure Synapse Analytics in two ways: as a source of aggregated and transformed financial datasets, and as a source of Synapse’s own DWU and pool consumption costs for IT cost modeling.

How Does Nicus Integrate

FAQs

Does Nicus work with Azure Synapse Analytics?

Yes. Nicus uses data from Azure Synapse Analytics as a source of aggregated financial datasets, and incorporates Synapse’s infrastructure costs into ITFM cost models.

What are Data Warehouse Units (DWUs) and how do they relate to ITFM?

DWUs are the compute capacity metric for Azure Synapse Analytics Dedicated SQL Pools. DWU consumption data can be incorporated into Nicus to model and allocate Synapse infrastructure costs to business units and services.
