Deploy with flexible options
What is Azure Stack Hub?
Part of the Azure Stack portfolio, Azure Stack Hub broadens Azure to let you run apps in an on-premises environment and deliver Azure services in your datacenter. As organizations race to digitally transform, many are finding they can move faster by using public cloud services to build on modern architectures and refresh legacy apps. Many workloads, however, must remain on-premises—for example, due to technological and regulatory obstacles. Microsoft has you covered with broad hybrid cloud options and cloud innovation for all your workloads, wherever they reside.
Your own autonomous cloud that you can run completely or partially disconnected from the internet and the public cloud
Ability to use consistent tools, experiences, and app models and easily transfer them between Azure and Azure Stack Hub
One Azure ecosystem giving you integrated systems from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell EMC, Cisco, Lenovo, and others
