Frequently Asked Questions

Databricks

Are your Databricks resources located in Australia?

 Yes. We support critical infrastructure clients, and all Databricks resources are hosted within Australia to ensure local data residency and compliance requirements are met. 

What is Databricks used for?

Databricks is used for data engineering, large-scale data processing, machine learning, AI development, analytics and data governance. Built on Apache Spark and Delta Lake, it provides a unified Lakehouse architecture supporting both operational and analytical workloads at scale.

Has One51 delivered Databricks migrations for large complex organisations?

Yes. One51 delivered a major Databricks migration for several large complex organisations including Ausgrid - Australia's largest electricity distributor by population - migrating billions of records from Synapse to Azure Databricks with zero escalations at go-live.

What is Unity Catalog?

Unity Catalog is Databricks' unified governance solution providing centralised access control, data lineage, cataloguing and auditability across all Databricks workspaces. One51 implements Unity Catalog as a standard component of every Databricks engagement.

What is Lakebridge?

Lakebridge is Databricks' accelerator for data migrations. It automates SQL translation from legacy data warehouse platforms to Databricks - significantly reducing migration time, cost and manual effort.

What is MLflow?

MLflow is an open-source platform for managing the ML lifecycle - experiment tracking, model versioning, deployment and monitoring. One51 uses MLflow to build production-ready solutions on Databricks.

Can Databricks work with Fabric and Power BI?

Yes. Databricks integrates with Fabric and Power BI through a native connector, allowing Fabric and Power BI to query Databricks data directly for reporting and analytics.

How long does a Databricks migration take?

A focused migration from a single legacy system typically takes 8 to 16 weeks. We use our accelerators including Lakebridge and proven migration frameworks to reduce timelines and risk.

What is a Databricks Lakehouse?

A Lakehouse combines the flexibility of a data lake with the governance of a data warehouse. Databricks' Lakehouse architecture on Delta Lake provides ACID transactions, schema enforcement, data versioning and high-performance queries on open format data.

Does One51 provide ongoing managed support for Databricks?

Yes. We provide managed operations including pipeline monitoring, incident management, performance optimisation, cost management and ongoing analytics delivery.

What is the difference between Databricks and Microsoft Fabric?

Databricks is an open, multi-cloud platform optimised for large-scale data engineering, ML and complex AI workloads. Fabric is a unified SaaS platform better suited to Microsoft ecosystem organisations seeking simplicity and integrated Power BI. One51 is certified across both.
