CLOUD DEPLOYMENT MODELS

In today’s business scenario, businesses are racing to migrate to public cloud services to build on modern architectures and reap the operational and cost efficiencies. However, these businesses face technological and regulatory obstacles as many workloads must remain on-premises. As this scenario persists, the majority of businesses are looking for hybrid cloud models to satisfy data regulatory requirements and unified application needs. Few businesses look forward to using the same code in data centers and public cloud while few others prefer hybrid cloud for locations where regulatory compliance, latency, and performance have prevented from achieving a fully realized cloud strategy.

Azure Stack overcomes these limitations, by offering a true hybrid experience and allows deployment of cloud-native applications on-premises.

Azure Stack

The hybrid solution allows the database to continue to exist in the public cloud locally, while Azure web apps can be accessed through the public cloud. Azure Stack offers your business the technical advantage of minimized latency.
