// The new standard for hybrid cloud

Azure Local

At the end of 2024, Microsoft rebranded Azure Stack HCI to Azure Local. This rebranding not only brings a shorter name but also reflects a broader vision. Azure Local goes beyond hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), now offering flexible deployment options—ranging from edge computing to large-scale data centers, and even fully disconnected scenarios from Azure Cloud.

 

// This is how Azure Local improves your IT infrastructure.

// AZURE SERVICES

These Azure services are available in your hybrid solution.

Azure Local is hybrid by design, allowing you to leverage a variety of Azure cloud services and tools within your local ecosystem. Here are the key ones:

Azure Arc

Azure Arc is your organization's single central management platform for all resources, whether they are in Azure or not. That way, you make sure that your environment is always secure, and that your policy management is up-to-date.

Azure Kubernetes Service

If you want to develop and deploy cloud-native applications across your organization, Azure Kubernetes Service is the best way to start: integrated management and governance for local and multicloud Kubernetes clusters.

Azure Virtual Desktop

To provide your employees with the best virtual workplace, use Azure Virtual Desktop: the only VM solution fully optimized for Windows 11 and Microsoft 365. This allows you to access your workplace anytime, anywhere.

Azure DevOps

Smarter planning, faster delivery, and better collaboration with the capabilities offered by Azure DevOps cloud services. Develop, test, and deploy to the cloud or on-premises as needed. DevOps can help organizations become more agile, efficient, and competitive.
