Fabric capacity explained
✅ What is Fabric capacity?
Fabric capacity is like a shared pool of resources (such as memory and processing power) that you can use to run Power BI reports, dashboards, and other Microsoft Fabric workloads. Instead of paying for each individual user, you pay for a block of capacity that everyone can share.
Think of it like renting a big coffee machine for an office. Everyone can use it, but you only pay for the machine—not for each cup of coffee!
Save by using a Fabric capacity
💡How does it save on Power BI license costs?
Without Fabric capacity
You need a Power BI Pro (or premium) license for every person who wants to view reports. The more viewers you have, the more expensive it gets.
With Fabric capacity
You only pay for the capacity, and now many users, even without a Power BI license can view the reports.
Let's talk about the numbers
📊 Example savings scenario
Let's consider the following scenario. You have a organisation with 50 viewers and 5 report developers/publishers.
Without capacity
50 viewers x €14,- = €700 per month.
5 developer/publishers x €14 = €70 per month
Total: €770 per month
With capacity AND DataTako
1 fabric capacity (e.g. F2) = € 262,80
1 DataTako (1-100 users) license = €199,95
5 developer/publisher Power BI Pro license x €14 = €70
Total: €532,75
Total with smart management: €360

DataTako smart capacity management
✅ What is DataTako smart capacity management?
Great news! Fabric capacity is billed by the minute and can be paused or resumed on demand. When your capacity is paused, you pay nothing. DataTako can automatically pause and resume your capacity based on viewer activity—ensuring you only pay when it's actually needed.
