Microsoft unveils Foundry overhaul for managing, optimizing AI agents
"Foundry IQ and Fabric IQ will help IT administrators and developers to ground AI agents in their enterprise data and keep track of deployed systems. The former is a new knowledge system intended to connect agents to any data in OneLake, with interconnectors such as Amazon S3 and Snowflake. ITPro spoke to Eric Boyd, CVP AI Platform at Microsoft, who explained that Foundry IQ is the next-generation of retrieval augmented generation (RAG), empowering AI agents with relevant, efficiently-sourced information for accurate outputs."
""Foundry IQ is looking to give you a single tool that will help you manage across all these different data sets that you have," he said. Fabric IQ brings together deployed systems within a comprehensible, semantic cloud showing how they relate to other systems within an enterprise environment. Boyd explained that this helps the problem faced by many IT organizations beginning to manage thousands of agents, who are now forced to tackle greater levels of complexity, reduced oversight, and concerns about rising costs."
Microsoft updated Foundry to simplify creation and management of AI agents across enterprise environments by unifying observability, security, and developer pipelines. New connectors and data unification layers enable agents to access diverse enterprise data sources and improve functionality. Foundry IQ is a knowledge system that connects agents to data in OneLake and to external stores such as Amazon S3 and Snowflake, using next-generation retrieval augmented generation to provide relevant, efficiently sourced information. Fabric IQ visualizes deployed systems in a semantic cloud to show relationships, helping IT teams manage scale, complexity, oversight, and costs associated with thousands of agents.
