Azure Stack portfolio
An extension of Azure to consistently build and run hybrid applications across datacenters, edge locations, remote offices and cloud
The Azure Stack is a portfolio of products that extend Azure services and capabilities to your environment of choice—from the datacenter to edge locations and remote offices. The portfolio enables hybrid and edge computing applications to be built, deployed and run consistently across location boundaries, providing choice and flexibility to address your diverse workloads.
Run edge computing workloads
Run VMs, containers and Azure services at edge locations for your new IoT, AI and business workloads or migrate your existing workloads.
Azure Stack Edge
Cloud managed appliance
Machine learning at the edge
Edge and IoT solutions
Network data transfer
Run virtualised applications on-premises
Run virtual machines (VMs) on hyperconverged systems and use Windows Admin Center to connect to Azure for cloud services.
Azure Stack HCI
Hyperconverged solutions
Scalable virtualisation and storage
Remote branch office
High-performance workloads
Use cloud services on-premises
Build and run cloud applications using consistent Azure services on-premises to meet regulatory or technical requirements.
Azure Stack Hub
Cloud-native integrative system
Disconnected scenarios
Data sovereignty
Application modernisation
Azure innovation anywhere
Intelligent cloud, intelligent edge. Extend Azure services and capabilities on-premises and build, deploy and operate hybrid cloud and edge applications consistently across Azure and Azure Stack Hub. Azure Stack Hub is sold as an integrated system of software and validated hardware.
Your cloud, your way. Run your own autonomous cloud, completely or partially disconnected from the internet and public cloud. Operate Azure Stack Hub yourself or with the help of a trusted managed service provider. Either way, you control access to your data.
Edge and disconnected solutions
Run Azure Stack Hub at the edge for remote locations or intermittent connectivity, run it disconnected from the internet or create hybrid solutions. Process data locally in Azure Stack Hub and then aggregate it in Azure for additional processing and analytics.
Cloud applications that meet regulatory requirements
Meet your specific regulatory and policy requirements with full flexibility to deploy on-premises using Azure Stack Hub—without changing any code.
Legacy systems modernisation
Apply a consistent DevOps process, Azure web services, containers, serverless computing\ and microservices architectures to update and extend your legacy data, locked in mainframe and core business process applications.
Consistent tools, experiences, and application models
Easily transfer your skills and processes between Azure and Azure Stack Hub while using the tools you want. Maximise productivity by building and deploying applications the same way in either environment.
- One set of tools. Use the same application model, self-service portal, and APIs with Azure Resource Manager.
- Common DevOps. Experience continuous deployment and integration using Jenkins and Azure DevOps, and automation using Chef and Azure PowerShell DSC extensions.
- Open source. Use a broad range of open source technologies, including Java, Python, Node.js, PHP, Kubernetes containers, and Cloud Foundry.
Run the same Azure services across cloud boundaries
Meet your business and technical requirements by using the right combination of cloud and on-premises deployments for your needs. Azure infrastructure as a service (IaaS) delivery goes far beyond traditional virtualisation. Use Virtual Machine Scale Sets for rapid deployments with true autoscaling for modern workloads.
Consistent Azure platform as a service (PaaS) capabilities bring hybrid deployment choice and portability to cloud applications. Run fully managed PaaS, serverless computing, distributed microservices architectures, and container management on-premises.
