Accelerate Data Center Transformation with Microsoft Azure Stack HCI
Accelerating the Path to the Cloud with Intel® Data Center Blocks (Intel® DCBs)
Overcome barriers to software-defined storage (SDS) with optimized, integrated and validated systems that speed the transition to multi/hybrid cloud deployments for more rapid time-to-market. Working closely together, Microsoft and Intel optimized the features and performance of Microsoft Azure Stack HCI (including Windows Server) including taking advantage of the latest 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, featured in the Intel® Server System M50CYP Family. These optimizations help you get the most out of Windows Server 2019 features, such as Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), Hyper-V, Software Defined Networking (SDN), and Windows Admin Center (WAC).
Microsoft Azure Stack HCI is a hybrid cloud solution built on Intel partner hardware that includes virtualization (Hyper-V), software-defined storage (Storage Spaces Direct), and software-defined networking. It also has the flexibility of optional OS-integrated Azure services, such as offsite backup, site recovery, cloud-based monitoring, and more. Because it’s a Microsoft-validated solution, you can get up and running without lengthy design and build times.
