Azure Local is Flexible HCI Delivered as an Azure Hybrid Service​

Azure Local is a cloud-inspired Microsoft hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) software stack that runs on on-premises servers. Delivered as an Azure service, Azure Local is ideal for organizations that are starting their journeys to the cloud, but that have key workloads that need to stay on premises. Azure Local relies on software-defined storage and networking to enable aggregation of all server resources into a virtual pool that can be accessed directly from any of the servers in the cluster. ​

When IT administrators are ready to shift to a hybrid-cloud approach, they can extend on-premises infrastructure to Azure quickly and easily, with simplified access to cloud management and various Azure services, including cloud-based backup, update management, security monitoring, and disaster recovery​

Tight integration of Azure Arc and Azure Local simplifies the management and operation of complex and distributed environments on premises, at the edge, and in multi-cloud environments.​

Microsoft has been named a visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure for Azure Local.

DataON Solution Builder Extension (SBE) Keeps Your Integrated System Updated

DataON SBE integrates with Microsoft’s cluster aware update (CAU) functionality to simplify deployment and updates to Azure Local, with minimal disruption to your hybrid cloud infrastructure. ​

DataON SBE automatically compares your server nodes against the latest quarterly validated server component image baseline from Microsoft. It ensures that servers have the same OS version, drivers, firmware, BIOS, and BMC, and checks the drivers and firmware for network cards, host bus adapters, and SSD and HDD drives. With a single click, your entire cluster can be updated. SBE helps keep your system updated and secure against the latest server exploits.​
