Your Microsoft Fabric and Azure data platform, monitored 24/7.
Cyber Samurai runs the day-to-day management of your data platform - watching capacity, cost, pipelines and security so your team can focus on using the data, not babysitting the platform.
What we mean by data platform management
A facilities manager for your data platform
A data platform like Microsoft Fabric or Azure is the building your data lives in: it needs power, capacity, security and maintenance whether anyone is looking or not. Data platform management means we run that building for you, watching capacity, cost, pipelines and access around the clock so your team can simply work in it.
Capacity
Usage is watched and right-sized, so throttling and slowdowns do not catch the business off guard.
Cost
Spend is tracked and reported monthly, with optimisation advice before the bill jumps.
Pipelines
Failures and delays trigger alerts and a response, not a surprise in tomorrow's report.
Security
Access and configuration changes are controlled and auditable, not made ad hoc.
One accountable team owns platform health end-to-end, for a predictable monthly cost.

Platform problems we see every week
Modern data platforms are powerful but easy to leave unattended - until something breaks or the bill jumps.
Fabric spend creeps up with nobody watching
Capacity throttling hits and slows the whole business
Failed pipelines go unnoticed until the next day
Security changes are made ad hoc with no audit trail
Nobody owns platform health end-to-end
