Azure Stack Edge

An Azure managed device that brings the compute, storage, and intelligence of Azure to the edge.

Purpose-built hardware-as-a-service with Azure Stack Edge

Run your workloads and get quick actionable insights right at the edge where data is created using purpose-built hardware-as-a-service with Azure Stack Edge.

With easy ordering and fulfillment, you can manage your device from the cloud with standard Azure management tools

With Azure loT Edge, you can deploy and manage containers from loT Hub and integrate with Azure loT solutions at the edge with rugged options using Kubernetes with multi-node and virtual machine support

Bring hardware acceleration to a diverse set of Machine Learning workloads with NVIDIA T4 Tensor Core GPU and Intel VPU

Keep a local cache of your Azure Storage account, utilizing the storage gateway to automatically upload

Get started easily with hardware-as-a-service and a seamless cloud-to-edge experience

Simply order your appliance from the Azure portal in a hardware-as-a-service model, paid monthly via your Azure subscription.

Get a seamless cloud-to-edge experience where you configure, monitor and update your Azure Stack Edge with the same management portal and development tools that you’ve come to expect from Azure.

An overview of device management in Azure

Run your applications at the edge close to the data

Run your containerized applications and VMs right at the edge where data is created and collected. Analyze, transform, and filter data at the edge, sending only the data you need to the cloud for further processing or storage.

Analyze your data for quick actionable insights with hardware accelerated AI/ML

Build and train Machine Learning models in Azure or use Azure Cognitive service, and then utilize the built-in NVIDIA T4 GPU or Intel VPU in the Mini R to accelerate the results locally. Upload the full dataset or a subset to the cloud to retrain your models and make your edge devices even smarter.

Transfer data efficiently and easily between the cloud and edge

Azure Stack Edge acts as a cloud storage gateway and enables eyes-off data transfers to Azure, while retaining local access to files. With its local cache capability and bandwidth throttling, to limit usage during peak business hours, Azure Stack Edge can be used to optimize your data transfers to Azure and back.

Use cases

Machine Learning at the edge

Azure Stack Edge helps you address latency or connectivity issues by processing data close to the source. Run Machine Learning models right at the edge locations. Transfer the data set you need, either the full data set or a subset, to Azure to retrain and continue to improve your model.

Internet of Things

Process, sort, analyze your IoT or datacenter data to determine what you can act on right away, what you need to keep and store in cloud, and what you don’t.

Network data transfer from the edge to the cloud

Easily and quickly transfer data to Azure for further compute or archival purposes or to expedite your cloud migration. Return the appliance to Microsoft when you’re done.

Edge and remote site compute

Run applications at remote locations to speed transactions and address bandwidth constraints. Local applications can still work when your connectivity to cloud is limited.

Regulatory compliance

Make sure the data you’re sending back to the cloud doesn’t violate any compliance regulations by using ML models to help alert you to potentially sensitive data and take action locally.
