DataON HCI Validated Nodes for Azure Local​

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.​

Boasting an incredible HCI industry record 13.7M IOPS, Azure Local has been named a visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure and StorageReview gave it an Editor’s Choice award.
