A strong IT infrastructure is the foundation of any successful business. It keeps operations running smoothly, supports growth, and ensures security. But with evolving technology and increasing demands, making the right IT choices can be challenging. The key is to invest in a system that adapts, protects, and scales with your business needs.
A hybrid cloud platform that lets you run Azure services on-premises – this is Azure Stack, an integrated and optimized system of software and matching hardware.
It combines IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service) functionalities in a software stack that extends and enhances on-premises data center environments. You can now deliver Azure-based Cloud Services from your own data center, with fast application and service deployment using standard Azure tools and APIs.
Also, Azure Stack enables you to spread and integrate apps and services onto the public Azure cloud, for practically unlimited scalability.
How does Azure Stack work?
Here is the layout of the Azure Stack architecture:
