Azure Stack Hub

Overview

What is Azure Stack Hub?

Part of the Azure Stack portfolio, Azure Stack Hub broadens Azure to let you run apps in an on-premises environment and deliver Azure services in your datacenter. As organizations race to digitally transform, many are finding they can move faster by using public cloud services to build on modern architectures and refresh legacy apps. Many workloads, however, must remain on-premises—for example, due to technological and regulatory obstacles. Microsoft has you covered with broad hybrid cloud options and cloud innovation for all your workloads, wherever they reside.

Address latency and connectivity requirements by processing data locally in Azure Stack Hub and then aggregating it in Azure for further analytics, with common app logic across both. You can even deploy Azure Stack Hub disconnected from the internet and from Azure.
Develop and deploy apps in Azure while maintaining full flexibility to deploy on-premises to help meet regulatory or policy requirements. No code changes are needed. Help meet requirements for tasks like global auditing, financial reporting, foreign exchange trading, and online gaming.
Use Azure services, containers, serverless, and microservice architectures to update and extend existing apps or build new ones. Use consistent DevOps processes across Azure in the cloud and Azure Stack Hub on-premises to quickly modernize your mission-critical apps.
Our integrated systems partners, service providers, and software marketplace partners stand ready to help you extend Azure on-premises. Work with the people and tools you already use for public cloud, such as hardware partners in your datacenter, managed service providers, trusted system integrators, and application software from the Azure Marketplace—wherever you need them.
Optimize your applications by using integrated systems designed to deliver a consistent Azure experience. Get up and running quickly with purpose-built Azure Stack Hub integrated systems from one of our hardware partners.
Browse our hybrid cloud solution architecture templates and get started with DevOps in hybrid environments, AI at the edge, and hybrid app development.
