Denodo’s fully managed cloud service is now accessible to Azure customers worldwide, bridging the gap between AI agents and the distributed data they need to act intelligently.
The promise of agentic AI has always hinged on one critical question: can your AI agents actually reach the data they need, wherever it lives? Denodo believes the answer is now yes and it has the Microsoft Marketplace listing to prove it.
“Microsoft is pleased to welcome Agora to Microsoft Azure and the Microsoft Marketplace. 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.”
— Jake Zborowski, General Manager, Microsoft Azure Platform, Microsoft Corp.
Agora, the Denodo Cloud Service, is now officially available on the Microsoft Marketplace, giving Azure customers worldwide a direct route to one of the most comprehensive logical data access layers on the market. The platform integrates natively with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Power BI, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure OpenAI, and Azure Databricks while simultaneously connecting AI agents to more than 200 source systems spanning on-premises infrastructure, SaaS platforms, and competing clouds.
The architecture is deliberately complementary. Where Microsoft Fabric delivers semantic understanding and orchestration for AI agents through Fabric IQ, Agora supplies live, governed access to data sitting outside the Microsoft ecosystem entirely SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Snowflake, and hundreds more. The result is an agentic AI foundation that operates on an organisation’s complete data estate, not just the portion that has already migrated to Azure.
“Agora on the Microsoft Marketplace delivers new levels of agility, scalability, cost-efficiency, and ease-of-use for our mutual customers tackling agentic AI use cases across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.”
— Suresh Chandrasekaran, Executive Vice President, Denodo
Security and governance are built in from the ground up. Agora integrates with Microsoft Entra ID and delivers attribute-based access control, end-to-end data lineage, and policy enforcement critical capabilities for organisations navigating strict data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.
For procurement, organisations can choose from free trials, consumption-based pricing, or annual private offers, with purchases eligible to count toward Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments.
