DataON has been elevated to the Premier Solution tier for Azure Local, giving customers access to the highest level of Microsoft validation and the broadest set of supported deployment scenarios.
In this session, we’ll talk about how Azure Local is the foundation for Microsoft’s Sovereign Private Cloud, allowing organizations to run cloud-consistent infrastructure on hardware they own and operate within their sovereign boundary. It supports deployments across connected, intermittently connected or fully disconnected environments, with features such as support for SAN‑based architectures and Azure Local Disconnected Operations.
We’ll also cover the features that were recently GA’d — including local identity, rack‑aware clusters, and significant networking improvements—and explain how they strengthen security, resiliency, and manageability across your environment.
Finally, we’ll walk through the upcoming Azure Local pricing changes so you can plan confidently and maximize the value of your hybrid cloud investments.
