Customers are challenged to migrate applications to the cloud faster and with the release of Microsoft Azure Stack, a true hybrid cloud platform, they can enable Azure services from their on-premises datacenter.
- Implement a common DevOps approach for hybrid cloud
- Go faster using application models, and self-service portal
- Custom DevOps though access to API with Azure Resource Manager
- Leverage Docker-Integrated Containers, Mesos, and multiple Linux distros
- Use Cloud Foundry for consistent build, deploy and management of applications
- Deploy PaaS / IaaS using consistent Azure administration muscle memory and tool sets
Azure Stack supports HPE, Dell EMC and Lenovo for customer roadmaps including the desire for “cloud first” applications while maintaining specific on-premises concerns or need for flexibility by addressing Data sovereignty, Regulations, Latency or disconnected environments. Support for application modernization and application mobility enable customer’s scenarios that were not previously achievable. I can provide guidance for customers to start with a small deployment of 4 servers that support “busting” to the cloud or on-premises scale as their environment grows with economic pay-as-you-use pricing.
Solutions designed with Azure Stack receive continuous and pre-validated updates for hardware and software to support customer’s security and lifecycle management processes. Easy enablement of unified health monitoring of applications with Operations Management Suite (OMS) provide a consistent single monitoring pane-of-glass and business specific customized KPI dashboards.
Microsoft Azure Stack enables customer’s successes by bringing cloud agility and innovation on-premises with continuous agility for their products. Organizations use consistent Azure experiences for deployment, and operations that leverage a service delivery framework. With business and technical guidance from me, customers are better able to grow new business and address current customers’ needs by creating their own Azure Marketplace content.
