Introduction

When deploying Tableau Server on Microsoft Azure, you may choose the level and depth of integration between Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server on your Microsoft Azure virtual machines (VMs). You can use Tableau Desktop and its ability to extract data from your data sources to act as a bridge between your data and Tableau Server. Based on your needs, or if you already have a lot of data in Microsoft Azure, you might instead choose to leverage the full range of Microsoft Azure services in conjunction with Tableau Server. The following diagram shows data source integration with Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server.

 

In the following diagram, all of your data is hosted in Microsoft Azure. You can analyze both structured and unstructured data managed in a secure, scalable manner. You may leverage data that resides in Microsoft Azure only, unmanaged data that lives outside of Microsoft Azure, or a combination of both. This flexibility greatly increases the ability of your organization to support moves to the cloud from on-premise data, since both types of data is supported equally.
